[mythtv-users] Re: Jerky Video after transcode MPEG2->MPEG4

[Mike Harris]

Hi Devan,

It is a P4 2.8Ghz. It barely breaks out a sweat, the CPU fan does not 
come on.
Also, sureley transcoding should just take longer rather than dropping 
frames if CPU speed were an issue? It is not as if it has to keep up 
with broadcast.

And what's more, I did not have this problem with 0.17.

Thanks // Mike
