[mythtv-users] HD-PVR playback--high CPU usage

Hi,

I'm having trouble playing back recordings from my Hauppauge HD-PVR.
The CPU on my Pentium dual core frontend is pegged and playback is
unwatchable.

What is weird is that I can play back 720p h.264 torrented video files
with no problem.  In that case playback is perfect and cpu is probably
around 30%-50%.  I would think the 720p h.264 video coming from the
HD-PVR should be roughly equivalent to the video files.  I don't
understand why the system can't handle it.

I'm using the latest 0.22 from the avenard repo.

Any advice?

Thanks
Zach
