Jarod,
Most definitely. While I'm a bit of a risk-taker, I
do sometimes (key word: sometimes) know when to play
it safe. :)

I'm seeing about 40-45% combined usage between user
and system, this with kernel deinterlacing enabled
(yes, I checked, it's, "kernel (less motion blur)".
Again, I don't know if it's doing anything, but I'm
getting the black and white OSD, which tells me that
I'm doing something with XvMC (well, so I would
think). When I turned it off, I was seeing lines in
fast motion again (but, I think I might have seen that
tonight as well with it on). Damn, I'm confused!
I'll try Bob out as well and see what it gives me.

Hmmm... 720x480, using the default settings of
4500-6500. I have a 250GB hard drive in the backend,
I could easily increase the bitrate, and I might try
that.
Thanks for the info, it gives me a few more things to
try... I'm always game for trying anything that
increases my picture quality.
