I've got my mythbox up and running. It's a backend system running on a dell P3-500 w/ 384MB of memory, 2 disk drives, PVR-250 capture card -- one for the O/S, one for the recordings.

I am running into a problem I haven't seen described in the forums. For many of the recordings I see a "ghost image" in the upper left corner of the screen. The "ghost" is a replica of the image that is playing, but it is 1/4th full size, and it is all in a faint yellow color. I've updated to the latest non-beta version of the PVR-250 firmware, but it hasn't solved the problem.

I do my playback on a remote machine using the web interface and VLC.

Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas what may be causing it?


THanks for any help you can provide.

The problem is solved. I've discovered that the problem only occurs when I am doing playback on my windows XP machine AND running a Nero Record concurrently with the playback. ie: If I start the playback of the recording after he Nero Recode job has completed, the "yellow ghosting" does not occur. The Nero record job was transcoding a totally different MPEG2 file to MP4 than the file I was trying to play back.
