So a prebuffer pauses happen when MythTV's starved of CPU time, cause I get them sometimes. I think getting a GFX card which doesn't use the CPU (I.E. not an integrated graphics chip like the 6150) might solve most of my problems.

"Enable OpenGL Vertical Sync" is quite acceptable. When Bob is<br>working, I'd argue it's *better* than anything a settop box can<br>produce.<br><br>--<br>Yeechang Lee <<a href="mailto:ylee@pobox.com">ylee@pobox.com
