[mythtv-users] "Videos" Play too fast and choppy

[Nowhere]

Thanks for the info Henk. 

I'm not sure I want to run Myth as root all the time though. I still
need to check to see if this will make a difference. I have no keyboard
on the system and getting myth to launch as root from a remote PC is
proving troublesome... I have a small script to kill/launch the frontend
from my remote:

#!/bin/sh

killall mythfrontend
DISPLAY=:0.0 nohup mythfrontend &

How can I make it run the front end as root?

Does anyone else have troubles playing avis and such in mythvideo (ie
too fast?) I would rather find the root cause and fix it than patch it
with the timebase unless everyone is running that way.

Any other clues?

Thanks again for the support!

Eric

Okay, you have an nVidia chipset (prerequisite for  "Use Video As
Timebase"). 
But do you also run the drivers from nVidia (prereq. 2)? And do you ruin
the 
frontend as root (prereq. 3)?
