John,

I am interested in trying this again.  I'd like to have all my systems
on one distribution plus I have been fighting prebuffering pauses on
HD playback for months.

Did you install from packages or did you compile from SVN?  Is there a
guide that you followed?  Any other words to the wise?

Thanks

Tom
