[mythtv-users] What do I have to do to get HD working?

I'm about at my wits end.  I just purchased a P4 3.2ghz HT to do HDTV 
playback in software but no matter what I do, I get continual studdering 
and "Video X frames ahead of audio" on my HD playback material.  This 
happens on my MX4000 PCI video card system, my ATI 9100 IGP video card 
system, and my Unichrome Pro video card system. 

Everything I read said that a P4 3.2 is enough to do HD but nothing I do 
can get it to work.  I'm running the 2.6.15 smp kernel but that almost 
seems to make it worse.  With the non-smp on my Unichrome system it 
plays back but only at about 17-20 fps.  With the smp kernel, it does 
the 29-30 but jumps and skips complaining about the video ahead of audio.

Please, anyone have any help?

Kevin
