[mythtv-users] small mythtv freezes ?

[wishbone at h4b.org]

Yup see the same thing.. Just joining in on this thread as well to see if I can
help at all..  I already started another thread (about a week ago?) about this
same type of thing.  I don't see the prebuffering pause messages but the
outcome appears to be similar.  Gltiches and slight pauses throught the
recording (and livetv).  Watching it in mplayer and WMW shows no sign of any
problems what so ever.  The few things I've noticed:

Happens more frequently with mostly black or mostly white frames.  Initially I
thought it might be a commercial detection problem, but turning that off didn't
help.

Others have mentioned that adjusting the picture settings seems to affect this
as well.  

Probably not helpful, but I really love mythtv and would like it to stop doing
this =).

I'm running .12
