I'm having a problem with MythTV-0.9 from CVS. My frontend is falling
behind, slowly skewing time by about 40 seconds every 30 minutes. I've
tried:
-- Capture resolutions of 640x480, 544x480 and 352x480.
-- Enabling / Disabling of "Deinterlace playback", and "Jitter reduction"
-- Running full screen or windowed or windowed resized smaller.
The machine is a Athlon XP 1700 with 256MB RAM and a HD that hdparms at
40MB/s. There is no swapping going on or anything else significant
runnable at the time on the machine. 'top' reads anywhere from 25%-30%
idle at full resolution. Probably inconsequential, but the recording
side is using an ATI TV Wonder, btaudio driver, MPEG-4 @ 2Mbit (low
quality).
It just seems like MythTV isn't playing as fast as it is recording. At
first I thought I was recording at NTSC (29.97) and playing back at PAL
(25) but that would introduce a much higher skew.
Anyone have any ideas where I should look for a solution, or other
configurations to try?
