[mythtv-users] Am I running out of bandwitdth?

I use MythVideo for streaming Mpegs, and DVD ISO's from NFS to my mythbox.

Sometimes the playback stutters.  There is nothing to suggest that the 
mythfrontend is running out of cpu (it's an AMD XP 3200) so I am 
wondering if badwisth is the issue:

My mythbox is connected over 802g via an ethernet bridge  - I get about 
1.5 MB/sec (12 Mbit/sec) reading from NFS.  Surely this is enough 
bandwidth even for DVDs?

is there any value in experimenting with using Xine as the engine?

Dave
