You will probably not be able to get good playback on a 3.2 GHz P4.
I tried for many months and it never worked well enough. I was
deinterlacing to 720p, which adds some CPU load.
You really want a dual core CPU. I switched to an x2 3800 and it
was significantly better. X and MythTV both are working hard, so
dual core helps quite a bit.
