2001-06-16 Thread Matthias Weingart
Sometimes the last pixel line of the osd is damaged; try pressing enter several times during replay. Maybe the size of the OSD is a little bit to large for the size available by the driver? It seems that other processes are overwriting the osd? Maybe this causes the tuning problems too? This b
