</div>I think you need to be more precise concerning your recording types/formats.<br>
To MythTV, all recordings are digital, so there's something other than this<br>
that differentiates your recordings. (I know you mean analog transmission vs.<br>
digital transmission [or perhaps some other medium, like DVDs], but my point<br>
is that a factor that happens to be correlated with this distinction is the<br>
real culprit, not the analog vs. digital source per se.) There's a good<br>
chance that your recordings vary in their resolutions and/or bitrates. This<br>
is particularly true if your "digital" signal is in fact an HDTV broadcast.<br>
My suspicion is that an HD recording will strain a 1GHz CPU; depending on the<br>
precise format and various other options, such recordings can consume half or<br>
more of my 3GHz Intel Celeron-D CPU's time. Issues like recording format<br>
(MPEG-2 vs. MPEG-4 vs. other odd formats) can also play a role.<br>
<br>
One factor that I found extremely important is proper X configuration.<br>
Specifically, with an nVidia video card, be sure the following line appears<br>
in the "Device" section for your video card in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:<br>
<br>
Option "UseEvents" "True"<br>
<br>
Without this line, X uses excessive CPU time, thus producing stuttering and<br>
other problems when playing back HD recordings on my system. It's conceivable<br>
you'd see similar symptoms even with SD content on a 1GHz system if this<br>
isn't set correctly.<br>
<br>
There are lots of other potential culprits, too, like deinterlacing settings,<br>
XvMC support, etc.<br>
