<pre wrap=""> When watching HD hockey in live TV, it seems myth can't keep up with the
action - it's very slightly choppy and the movement of the players is not
fluid. This doesn't happen with any other program - football, basketball and
baseball all are fine.
I'm using a custom playback profile:
Decoder: Standard Video Renderer: xv-blit
Primary Deinterlacer: Kernel Fallback: linear blend
I've tried a bunch of combinations and this seems to be the least annoying
- has anyone had success with other settings?
I'm using an AMD X2 4600 w/2GB RAM and an NVidia 7600S with 256MB, 2 X 320
GB Sata 2 in a RAID 0 array all out to a 1920 X 1080 LCD. MythTV is built
from the SVN.
I get a whole series of the following messages:
2007-10-13 20:56:37.896 NVP: Video is 30 frames behind audio (too slow),
dropping frame to catch up.
2007-10-13 20:56:37.957 NVP: Video is 30 frames ahead of audio,
doubling video frame interval to slow down.
I'd appreciate any guidance!
Thanks,
Martin

What device are you using the capture HD?

Well, it seems if I let the channel play for a minute or so, then hit
rewind very briefly and then play, the jerky motion disappears and the
hockey game looks great. This shouldn't be the case tho - I'm
speculating that what I'm doing effectively increases the size of the
buffer since there's a greater delay between the signal coming in and
having to be displayed. Anyway, the important thing is I can now
comfortably watch my team lose in high definition splendour...<br>
