I am posting this here as it might be a hardware problem:

When I watch DVD's on my new PB17" 128mbVRam I get a thin distorsion line that runs from the bottom of the screen to the top and then starts again from the bottom. This line is the full lenght of the screen. This affects the picture been displayed as it is distorted accross the line. It moves slowly, about 5 seconds from bottom to top of screen. The lines thickness is only about 2 or 3 millimeters.

Has anyone else experienced this and is the a solution for it. This only happens when you select to watch the DVD at Full Screen, if the picture is in a window then no problems.

This happens with Apples DVD Player. If I use VLC then at Full Screen there is no distorsion.

Thanks for the help
Cheers.
