Watched a video tonight and there were several skips in it, perhaps as many as 5 in the movie. My daughter said the same thing happened to her on another movie. She said it is in the recording and not in the playback. I had a frontend log going and nothing showed up on that. The skips seem like a 1/2 second missing, more or less.<br>
<br>
I searched the archives YTD and didn't find anything.<br>
<br>
Anyone know about this? I have mythbuntu 8.04 fixes 19878 on an AMD 5400+<br>
<br>
What log file should I run the next time I have a movie to rip? <br>
Is there a file I need to update? I don't do updates unless I know for sure it will fix a problem as they always seem to break some unrelated feature.<br>

I noticed what may be similar on a movie rip this weekend. The movie was ripped with DVDHDFab under Wine and then the directory containing the VIDEO_TS folder was dumped into my Myth video directory. When watching the movie I saw two or three brief periods of black. Less than a second each time. It could have been the movie skipping or just a section of black in the video. It was not distracting enough for me look in the log files and see what happened.<br>
<br>
Is this what happened for you?<br>
<br>
I am running Mythbuntu 8.10 with Jean-Yves VDPAU repo. I am at 20xxx something.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

with a lot of my own movies (read: purchased). I'd say it has been
only recent movies, but even older ones have had this happen. The only
way I've found around it is to purchase software (AnyDVD) and let it
take care of that DRM messiness. I have heard there are ways around it
with Linux software, but it's much more complicated.<br><br>Jim<br>
