Yeah - I'm beginning to realize that. Guess I'll go down other paths.
I'm dealing with both corrupted recordings (as evidenced by mplayer),
but, I think playback (at least via myth) compounds the little hiccups
in the file, and causes a bit of a cascade.
BTW - how does your cpus *do* on playback? I was actually surprised to
see one at almost 100% and the other running around 80-90 .... this is
what lead me down the XvMC path to start with (I'm using Athalon 64 X2 3800)
