[mythtv-users] Weird old-frame problem editing recordings, but only at 5+ second jumps (even after .24 +fixes upgrade)

Hi,
I have this problem with the MythTV video editor/trimmer thing.
When I step through the video at 1-frame, 0.5 seconds, or 1 second
everything is OK.
However when I step through at keyframe, 5 seconds (or more) the image I was
viewing before pushing [right-arrow] (or [left]) obscures the new frame
image. However I do see the correct frame for a split-split-second before
the old one obscures it. So the 'cursor' is advancing through the video,
but I can never see exactly where I'm up to.
That sounds a bit convoluted - here's an example.
Say I have a news recording before a program I want to trim off. On my
screen I see the face of the news-anchor-dude. I set the jump to 1 second,
and press [->] and the cursor advance, and a new video frame is shown (it's
still the same guy though). All this is correct.
So I up the jump time to 5 seconds, press [->]. I see a screen flash of the
new frame, but it's immediately covered by the frame I started on (the news
reader). I push [->] about 10 times. As I do it, I can see the cursor
advance, and a flicker of the correct frame (into my nature-programme now),
but every time that original news reader image is back. I set the jump-time
back to 1 second, and it works fine.
I had this problem with 0.23, but had hoped it would go away with 0.24. It
hasn't. It's a real problem with the keyframe jump. I want to trim every
last peice of the previous programme away, but this problem makes it really
difficult - almost trial and error.
I run the nvidia-binary driver - NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29. But various
upgrades to this driver have yielded no resolution.
Any advice here?
The last time it worked properly for me was 0.21
thanks,
