Hmmm, could my process priority be set too high on the transcoder?
Also, how the hell do I set that from the command line any how? :)

A 2400+ is pretty close to a P4 1.8ghz and I could watch live TV, record 
a show on my PVR250, while transcoding a recording without ever noticing 
any slowdown at all.
