[mythtv-users] upgrade mythbuntu to 8.04, not horrible SD playback

[Steve Peters - Priority Electronics]

Hello,

 
I had mythbuntu 7.10 and playback was great (and by great, i mean absolutely
perfect) with the yadif 2x deinterlacer. Now when i use yadif 2x after the
upgrade (actually a fresh reinstall of the 8.04), the playback plays for
about half a second at a time then pauses for half a second at a time.
 
Cpu usage in top is at 40% (20% of each core) on my 1.8ghz core 2 duo
processor with an nvidia 7300. That's exactly what it was at on my 7.10
install too. I had made a backup of my xorg.conf file before the upgrade
(wipe really), and that backup doesn't fix the issue.
 
Anyone have any ideas what could be happening here?
 
-Thanks 
 
 
 
OK, an update to my original post:
 
This issue happens only when i have transcode or mencoder running. When
those are off, the playback is great. The "nice" of mythfrontend.real is set
to 0 and the nice of transcode and mencoder are set to 19.
 
Please help if you can
-Thanks
