If it's one decoding error shortly before mythcommflag exits, that's normal and rebuilding the seek table won't make any difference. If it's lots of decoding errors, then rebuilding the seek table might help.

Are you getting one decoding error, or lots of them?

If lots of decoding errors, are the recordings from a PVR-150/300/500 or HVR-1600?
