It's quite possibly the ff/rew code; there were a few threads recently 
discussing this for us analog guys as well, though Geoff Kruse reported 
that issue gone and another (worse) one surfaced after applying Daniel 
Kristjansson's video output patch ("Video Output patch (incl. Windows & 
OSX)").

This has been an issue for me since jumping to 0.17, and as with you, I 
don't have any problem with transcoded recordings, just the mpeg2 ones 
from my pvr-250. I sent in a backtrace but I think the devs are having 
trouble reproducing it.

And anyone else who'd like to tell us what else we can do to help you 
track this down, by all means, do so.
