I've got Myth running on a FC4 install by installing the FC3 RPMS from
ATrpms and then whatever FC4 RPMS there were over the top. It seems to
be working just as well as when I had FC3 installed.
But if you're convinced that FC3 is the root of your jittery recording
problems, then this may not help. Have you thoroughly debugged the
source of the jittering? Looking at the mythbackend log, starting up
mythfrontend & mythbackend with all messages (mythfrontend -v all,
mythbackend -v all)? Ensuring you have enough CPU horsepower and/or
that you have an nVidia driver with a funtional XvMC setup?
Unfortunately, at this stage, the MythTV debugging learning curve is
quite steep. It helps immensely to read others' posts and the excellent
info at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv and http://www.mythtv.info .
Good luck!
