No, it says, "if it's a problem with the recording, it's a problem with 
something else."  I also asked the user to test with a different 
player--ideally on a different computer--which would verify it's not a 
playback/systemic problem.

I just didn't list all the other possibilities, yet, because I thought 
it a waste of my time to do so without first verifying the 
recording/video itself is good.  :)

(Not saying your reply isn't helpful--it is very helpful, and it may be 
a (non-MythTV) systemic issues such as you described--but I had just 
chosen to wait until the OP does some tests so that I had more 
information on which to base my other guesses.  :)
