[mythtv-users] Re: Problem Playing back long (2 hour) recordings

[Robert Denier]

At a guess take a look at whatever file system you are using on that 
system.  If its fat32 your going to have to change to something else.  I 
think ext2/3 and reiserfs should work fine as well as the ones myth 
recommends that I don't remember off hand.   (I'll change to one of the 
recommended ones eventually, its just not something I've gotten to doing 
yet.)
