I don't think so, DMA is enabled, and the problem persists only since i
switched from vdr0.71 to the actual version (including the driver change)
However while displaying this still picture, where a cut mark has been set,
and NOT yet pressing "2" makes vdr take that much cpu time - you see - vdr
and even the driver should have nothing to do at that moment...
Maybe my first post wasn't  so clear to understand ...

Yes, i know, but since the drivers (or whatever) still have video (and
sometimes audio) problems while playback, when the OSD (especially the ones
with the cut marks) is permanently ON, i don't really like this method, and
thought a short audio or visual (osd) notice, that the remote control
command has been understood would make sense...
