Whenever clips move from one scene to another my media player seems to retain an outline of the last seen image, is this a common problem and is there a way to fix it?
 
I'm pretty sure it's media centre as I've yet to notice it on any other media. I'm using this on my 20" Samsung Pebble.
 
It's got to do with hardware acceleration, my x1950 has the same problem when I use Media Center, but it never really bugged me as I sit so far away I don't notice it too much.

If you use a different DVD player and disable hardware acceleration does it still happen?
 
Do you have any noise reduction enabled in post processing?

Not sure, how do I check?

I don't have another dvd player and how do I disable hardware acceleration?
 
I haven't seen a way to do it specifically for media center but if you go to display settings (Right click on desktop) -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot and drag the slider to the left it will stop it but unfortunately everything else suffers as a result of this.

Try using VLC media Player, that's what I use when I'm near my screen and the after-image annoys me.

Apparently my current driver doesn't allow me to change hardware acceleration, and I do use VLC already to watch the odd video I download it's just I use media centre to watch digital tv (a lot more often than videos too)
