[mythtv-users] HD-PVR: Encoding Errors Running 0.22

[Mike Smith]

Hi,

I've been trying to track this problem down for a week now.  When I record a regular
program like Monk, or The Big Bank Theory,  the Hauppauge 1212  does an excellent
job.  But, when I try to record sports programs,  like a live NFL Football game,  I get jumps.
While viewing, it looks like a quick jump over from 1 - 3 seconds.  I has also happened
while recording Saturday Night Live ( SNL ).

Last night,  I upgraded the firmware on the HDPVR to 0x12, which posts to this forum indicate
is the latest.

I also upgraded the kernel on my Fedora 10 backend to the latest supported kernel,
2.6.27.38-170.2.113.fc10.i686.

The problem is on the recording side.  Not playback.  If I replay in Edit Mode, and can
do a frame-by-frame advance, and the skip is still in the same place.  The frames never
make it to the output file.

The mythbackend logs have these type of messages in the area where a skip occurs.
These were from recording ESPN News.  The video was a replay of an basketball game
where a player was being interviewed and a replay of his dunk was on the screen.

What do these messages indicate?
