I'm having some troubles with video stored on an external WD harddrive
and am hoping that someone might have a suggestion or two. Some videos
work fine but for some playback pauses for a fraction of a second every
half a minute or so (rough estimates only.) When I copy the file to an
internal disk playback works fine. It does not appear to be an issue
with disk or USB bus bandwidth because playback actually improves if I
copy large files to/from the disk at the same time. Is this some kind
of power management issue? How does one tweak such things in
ubuntu/mythbuntu?
thanks,
