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.
