It sounds like the phase-locked loop (PLL) may be coming unlocked. As a test, after the "pixel rips" start appearing, try re-booting from a cold start. Still ripping? If so, cold boot again, this time without any input 1 reference. If the ripping has cleared up, the Toaster was having trouble gen-locking to the reference video. (That reference video IS rock steady, isn't it??) For a cure, take a look at the Toaster Adjustments thread currently running within this section. Please let us know how things turn out; I'm compiling a list of common gremlins such as this for posting in the PreVue Technologies section.
