Hi All, how are you?<br>
I've finally got mythbuntu tuned up and running but the video is<br>
extremely jumpy, audio clips a little bit too, but nowhere near as bad<br>
as video. Live TV and TV recordings are as bad as each other.<br>

My CPU shouldn't be drained very much because I'm using a PVR-150 which<br>
is a hardware MPEG-2 encoder. I am wondering whether Mythbuntu is<br>
having trouble using the encoder, although there are no errors shown on<br>
start-up. (I have splash turned off)</blockquote><div><br>It's not having problems using the encoder - if it was it wouldn't record at all. But just in case try copying one of the recordings to another machine to rule out the recordings as an issue.<br>
</div></div>Have you tried watching anything with mythvideo? Does that have the same issue?<br><br>If that's not a SATA drive it might be drive performance - make sure DMA is on (hdparm -d /dev/hd...)<br><br>Is X setup correctly? Try playing something using Xine or mplayer. If they work ok then the problem is Myth, otherwise the problem is something in your system and X would be a prime candidate at that point.<br>
<br>Cheers,<br>Steve<br></div>
