Hi-
I just got the CVS version up and running on my P4 Celeron 1.7GHz. Things
are a little slow, so I'm still doing some tweaking. I have a matrox
G200-TV. When I go into hardware compression mode in myth, I get
extremely jerky video and the picture jumps horizontally. I installed the
matrox and mgavideo drivers as described in the HOWTO on an earlier post.
I didn't mess with the frambuffer stuff because I wanted to get it working
on my monitor first.
Software compression mode (both of them) are smooth and only take 60% CPU
at 320x240.
Any ideas what could be giving me the hardware compression problems? I
noticed that the CPU load does go way down when I'm recording in it.
Thanks,
Peter
