[mythtv-users] Video Stutters on Watch Recordings

[Dana Hata]

When I watch my recorded TV programs in mythfrontend, the video/audio
seems to slow to a crawl (like 3 fps), then speeds up to normal, and
then back to stuttering.  The CPU usage during this stuttering is about
normal (~60%).  I can run the exact same file in mplayer or any other
video app and it plays just fine.

Does anyone know how to fix this?  If not, is there a way to make myth
use mplayer to display its recorded TV shows?
