[MacDV] Re: Video glitch on G5 w/ 9800 video

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha Jim, I do have QT Pro 6.4 installed, but this is not a quicktime problem, as the 
fault occurs immediately upon bootup - from the time the grey apple splashscreen 
appears, there are rows of narrow rectangular artifacts superimposed on top of the 
computer video output (to a 23" cinema).  I can make out what the output is, and can 
choose restart from the apple menu, and always the second bootup will display the 
output normally.
