I'm pretty much at the same SVN fixes level as you and my setup is rock
solid. A couple of questions.

1. What CPU have you got?
2. Are you running 64bit or 32bit - there are a couple of 64bit issues
3. What capture cards do you have?
4. What settings are you using for playback - I needed a extra XvMC patch
to sort out some problems
