Would the jagged edges appear because the source was meant for 50Hz Interlaced, while the hardware is set for 60Hz interlaced? I had a similar problem on my nvidia tv-out device, and had to revert back to older drivers.<br>
<br>nvidia-drivers 1.0.7185, is the last driver that still support setting the tv-out device to 50Hz, instead of the default: PAL 60Hz. Any driver that nvidia released later on, doesn&#39;t seem to support tv-out @50Hz, no 
xorg.conf settings will work. My card is an old Geforce4 440MX, so the new cards requires later drivers :(<br><br>I hope this maybe helps somebody.<br><br>Theunis<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 13/11/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<br><br>Reinhard Nissl schrieb:<br><br>&gt;&gt; Yes, they are smooth for a brief moment, and then get jagged.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I recall this behavior when I had a FF card for testing. Maybe it&#39;s a<br>&gt; feature to stop flickering one pixel high horizontal lines in still
<br>&gt; images by doubling one field of the frame. Maybe there exists a switch<br>&gt; to turn this feature off.<br><br>To prove the above mentioned behavior, please try this synthetic file:<br><br><a href="http://home.vrweb.de/~rnissl/radio/field_test.mpg">

But if the above is true, you&#39;ll get some heavy flicker on TV and then<br>it will split the screen into a top and bottom half where one half will<br>be white and the other one black. This will happen when the FF card<br>
decides to display just a single field of the frame.<br><br>&gt; You&#39;ve tried to repeat an I frame forever. Try to remove the sequence<br>&gt; end code (00 00 01 B7) from the end of the file before mplexing and the<br>
&gt; MPEG program end code (00 00 01 B9) from the file after mplexing. Maybe<br>&gt; remove everything up to the first video PES packet from the final file.<br><br>Bye.<br>--<br>Dipl.-Inform. (FH) Reinhard Nissl<br>mailto:
