[mythtv-users] Frontend - prebuffering pause - firewire capture

I'm attempting to use an older Celeron 733 with a Geforce MX 4000
(440) & S-Video out however when i try and watch live/recorded shows
its slowwwwww (choppy) and i see "prebuffering pause.." errors scroll
by.

Is this because the firewire is mpeg2 (or 4) already at a high bitrate
and the firewire doesn't do any conversion and is overloading the lil
celeron?

Celeron has 256 megs of ram is is on 100mbit full  duplex  to the same
switch as the backend.  Backend is running on an Athlon64 with 512
megs of ram connected via firewire to a 6200 (comcast)

front end us using knoppmyth and backend suse 9.2
