[mythtv-users] All encoder MPG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.

[Kelly Shutt]

BUMP... noone has any ideas on this one?  I'd rather not have to 
downgrade, which I don't even think is possible.  Right now it's not 
usable at all, due to the fact that it's loosing like 25% of the 
recording per hour from these errors.

Thanks,
Kelly Shutt
