using the XV accelerated framebuffer driver for <BR>your PVR-350 output.
This is causing your non-MPEG2 recordings <BR>(although I wonder what is

using PVR-350 acceleration either?) to have <BR>poor performance.<BR><BR>I
don't have this card, but I believe you can download the X driver here:<BR><A
