<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Hi,<BR><BR>I
did a few searches (list, Google, etc) and can't find any info about
this.<BR><BR>On some of my recorded programs, there is pixelation occuring on a
regular <BR>basis for about 1 second every 5 seconds. Its quite annoying. I have
MythTV <BR>set to transcode automatically after recording, so am assuming its
something <BR>thats happneing during transcoding as opposed to when it capture
the <BR>original stream.<BR><BR>I can't seem to hunt down a pattern for how or
when it occurs, random shows, <BR>random channels and maybe only 20% of ym
recorded shows have this problem. <BR>It makes them unwatcheable.<BR><BR>The
picture sort of smears or freezes and then there is some pixelation as <BR>it
"catches up" to the current frame. It is not a playback issue as it <BR>occurs
in the same place on the recorded program each time, and does not <BR>occur on
all recordings.<BR><BR>Any ideas from the list would be appreciated. My only
theory is that during <BR>transcoding the CPU is at maximum and its not able to
trancode "properly" <BR>but I don't know what could be chewing it up so much and
I can't trace it <BR>easily as I don't know if/when it is happening. I have
Commercial flagging <BR>CPU set to Medium, could this be the problem?<BR><BR>The
box is a 2.4GHz P4 with 1GB RAM, dedicated /video disk (XFS) and it <BR>pretty
much just does MythTV stuff (unless I am surfing on it for <BR>MythTV-related
issues). I am running the nvidia 6111 drivers, the latest <BR>ivtv drivers (108k
I believe)and the latest version of MythTV from Apt.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>Robin
