I'm actually only having this problem on files that are not generated
by my HD Homerun. My SD recordings and everything in MythVideo are
exhibiting this problem. I did recently disable compositing, but
things were working fine with that turned off until a few days ago.
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my playback profile...
