Exactly. Jitter reduction uses a little more CPU time which
may thrash the recording if you don't have enough idle CPU
time. See http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-19.html#ss19.4
You may want to try setting your LiveTV resolution down one
notch and decide if you prefer that with jitter on or your
current res without jitter reduction. If it's still jerky
at a lower res, definitely leave it off.
