Noticeable pixelation during playback since moving to 0.22?

Hi all,

I upgraded to 0.22 over the weekend and watching some old recordings, I've noticed there's a definite pixelation going on, as though the video has been upscaled and the original was a much lower resolution (say 640x480?)

Even the HD recordings have a noticeable pixelation.

So, just wondering if there was some kind of setting that I missed somewhere? I'm fairly sure I've checked everything pretty closely, but nothing is jumping out at me.

The kit I'm running on:
frontend: Mac Mini 2.0GHz running Snow Leopard w/ 4Gb RAM + David Snider's build for OSX 0-22-fixes-20091107_Rev.22764 (thanks David!!)
backend: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.66GHz, 2Gb RAM
tuners: 2 x HDHomeRun (Australian edition)

I had no issues with 0.21 at all and watching the feed directly from the HDHomeRuns (with VLC) shows a nice clean feed.

Any help/advice anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated!

Forgot to mention - same thing happens with Live TV too (and new recordings).

I found the exact same thing when I upgraded to 0.22. I run about the same
front end as you (except with less memory). It looks like they tweaked the
default playback profiles so it looks like crap now for some reason on the
mac front end. I haven't tried out every option but setting it to opengl
for the video renderer and opengl2 for the OSD.

Does anyone else have any insight into what the default playback profile was
for 0.21?
