[mythtv-users] Bit rate oddity?

[Eni Gma]

  Perhaps more time was actually recorded on the former recording?  I am 
having trouble with my slave backend where it starts recording and does 
not stop until mythbackend is killed (or it runs out of disk space). 
 This happened to me 3 times last week.  The recordings generated are 
totally hosed, myth dies after a few minutes of watching.  This is VERY 
vexing because in all 3 instances the show being recorded was the season 
finale of Six Feet Under, so even though I recorded it 3 times I don't 
get to watch it.  

On another note, has anyone noticed mythbackend segfaults when deleting 
programs from MythWeb?  I upgraded to .9 yesterday and as I was deleting 
some shows the backend would segfault on an average of 1 in 4 deletes. 
 Anyone else experiencing this behavior?
