Mailing List Archive: MythTv 0.21 with fixes from Jean-Yves + PVR-500 + VDPAU => frame corruption.

I discovered that the problem might be a synchronization problem. The
corrupted video frames appear mostly when subtitles are present. In between
the subtitles, the corruption is less.

Thanks for any help.
