Hi,<br> I've never run across the need before but it seems with MythTV-0.19<br>the CPU usage requirements have gone up a bit and now one of my<br>underpowered machines is really not very happy running Myth when the<br>desktop resolution is set to 1280x1024. I'm seeing a lot of jerkiness
<br>in the video that I never saw with Myth-0.18.<br><br> While investigating the problem I found that if I severely lowered<br>the screen resolution down to 800x600 then things worked about as well<br>as they used to with
Myth-0.18. It seems to me that this might mean<br>that the local CPU has to rescale the video from whatever the<br>recording is to the screen resolution and the new version is placing<br>somewhat higher requirements that my slow CPUs cannot handle. Is this
<br>correct at all?<br><br> My question is how can I best configure Myth-0.19 to not have this problem?<br><br> One thought I had was to be able to run Myth as a truly windowed<br>app. I've never run in anything except full screen mode. If this is
<br>possible then I'd like to understand how to run Myth in a window of<br>800x600 while the screen is at 1280x1024.<br><br> Maybe there are other ways folks have discovered to make this more efficient?<br><br> Thanks in advance!
