New Machine (probably old problems), Video Render Options

Do you think Vista (running XP Pro) would help me out with EVR as it looks good except for the discolored borders?

Whatever you do, don't waste your money on Vista, go for Windows 7, it is MUCH better.

Tried the ffdshow encoder - works much better with EVR! The motion is nearly perfect although the picture is not as clear with xvid stuff as I was getting with MPC HomeCinema. Still - much better.

The borders are a light gray as opposed to the bright green which is much more passable.
