Some prebuffering messages are normal at the start of a recording but 
should not occur once the stream is established. Generally it means you 
cannot keep up and its dropping a frame. This could be a driver issue or 
something else. Tell us about your system so we can help. What are you 
trying to display? Standard tv or HD. Processor speed, video card, 
capture card(s)......etc.
