 When playing back a 720p 60fps H264 recording on a Windows frontend with
 ION video, I get lots of pauses in the video.  Playing back a 720p 60fps
 MPEG recording, there are no pauses.  The H264 is from an HD-PVR with
 default bitrate setting and the MPEG is from an HDHR.  In both cases, CPU
 usage for mythfrontend, according to Task Manager, is in the 30% to 40%
 range.  Using Direct3D for playback, no filters.

 To eliminate potential network issue, I created a Videos directory locally
 and copied the recording there, but it still had the pauses.  I tried
 muting sound to eliminate audio issues, problem still exhibited.

 Log of session attached, session consists of starting up mythfrontend with
 -v playback,timestamp, starting playback of video, waiting long enough for
 the OSD to go away and observe pauses happening, and then exiting.

 mythfrontend --version output:

 Let me know if I can provide any other info.
