- Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't the twinkling be caused by the
- interlacing of the video display? So a single pixel would only appear
- on every second field, i.e. if the pixel is on an even line it would
- only appear on the field that displays the even lines. Since two fields
- make a frame this would lead to a blink rate of 25 Hz (with PAL, with
- NTSC it would be 30 Hz). In that case it wouldn't have to do anything
- with YUV.
-
- This effect is even worse if You display horizontal one pixel wide
- lines. Then the whole line will flicker at a rate of 25 HZ (30 Hz).
-
- Maybe I didn't understand completely what You mean (it's not Your fault
- in that case :-). Could then someone explain the effect to me in more
- detail, perhaps in an e-mail.
