[mythtv-users] Stuttery playback

Hi all,

Got a bit of a problem with playing back recordings, my box is a 2.4Ghz 
P4 with a PVR-250 and a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x running Gentoo and myth 
version 0.20 (Gentoo package 0.20_p12172). The problem is that during 
playback CPU usage averages 30% or so but then suddenly it will then 
quickly increase to 100% and start stuttering (half second pauses that 
happen every few seconds - very irritating!). The odd thing is that 
restarting the frontend doesn't sort this out but restarting the backend 
does! (at least for a while anyway).

Does anyone have any suggestions? DMA is on :)

Thanks,

Peter.
