[mythtv-users] Jumpy playback with PVR-250?

[Scott Pouliot]

Roger that....installed and working in X, just not helping my Myth problem a
whole lot.  Although the pauses do seem to happen a bit less....I'm letting
it play now to see how it goes....the first 2 minutes were horrid though.
So far these next 4 have been OK though.  Only a tiny bit of stutter, but
only for a second or 2

Copy that. Absolutely, positively, definitely install the nvidia driver,
even if you aren't using TV-Out. It provides Xv support, which offloads a
ton of video processing to the video card, instead of your CPU. Regardless
of whether it was working with the stock nv driver, install the nvidia one.
