Hi, I subscribed to give my input:
Just recently installed the latest dx build (23805) and hooked my computer to my LCD tv. When watching a movie, the first 5 seconds are perfectly normal, but after that period I get a horizontal line on the screen that sometimes moves, sometimes not. The screen at this point moves up and down, along with the subtitles.
Please note that this up and down movement of the screen only happens when the video goes to full screen. When I minimize the video in xbmc, looking for other episodes, the screen does not have this problem. When I switch the video to full screen again, it shows correctly for 3 seconds and the same thing starts all over again. I noticed on the forum several people have issues with this.
I think this is an issue with the video player producing this result only in full screen mode (sometimes on the xbmc UI as well, depending on the options described below).
I tried finding a solution to this by installing other graphics drivers, switching on vert sync (both drivers and xbmc), changing video renderer, adjusting the refresh rate, and a combination of all this.
Please note that wmp and VLC player do not have this problem at all, the image is crystal clear.
I figured I'd try the open GL build of xbmc. Now instead of one line on the screen, I have three. Seems that for me, the DX version is better.
