[mythtv-users] Recordings spontaneously slow down

[David Kyle]

I've been having a problem for a while (but only since switching to 
.17), where occasionally, partway through recording something, it will 
suddenly slow down -- the  video slows to about 70% normal speed, and 
the audio drops in pitch accordingly.  It doesn't happen all the time, 
and I cannot reproduce it, nor do I have any idea as to what causes it.  
I know that the problem is during recording, because if I export the 
.nuv to another format, the problem remains.  Has anybody else had this 
problem?  I was hoping that it would resolve itself in .18, but it hasn't.

I realize that it would probably be extremely difficult to fix the error 
(especially since it doesn't seem to be a common problem, and I can't 
reproduce it), but maybe I can work around it be modifying the time 
stretch function to not compensate the audio for pitch when it speeds it 
up.  I tried looking at the source, but it's a lot to look through.  
Perhaps someone could give me an idea as to what I should do?  Perhaps 
the location of the function call that actually adjusts the audio?  Or 
is it not that simple?

Thanks for any help
