Where do I find those log files? I run MythBuntu 12.04.3.

What happens is that when I try to record certain HDTV channels on the 
DCH 3200 tuner through Firewire, I get an empty file. I have not found a 
workaround.

As far as the stuttering, I found that the audio stutters only when I do 
NOT use VDPAU with my NVIDIA GE210 video card. But when I DO use VDPAU, 
the audio does not stutter but it often gets out of sync with the video. 
I used to use MythDora, and I found that audio and video stayed sync 
with High Quality playback with no stuttering. I expected the same with 
MythBuntu, but for some reason MythBuntu appears to have more overhead 
or something.
