Thanks guys, yes I changed the speed setting in mythtvsetup to 400
mbps. Now, plugreport shows that the data_rate=2 and stays
there. However, it didn't seem to fix my display issues. <br>
It's not a stuttering necessairly, more of a slow-down - like
it's in slow motion for a second or 2. -it does this every 3 or 4
seconds. "normal speed, slo-mo, normal speed, slo-mo," etc,
etc. The video itself doesn't break-up at all during this
problem. It doesn't do it all the time, but it can
happen on any channel. I see it both during liveTV viewing as
well as on pre-recorded shows.<br>
The firewire capture is happening on a slave backend box, which is an
older Dell pentium 3 1gHz machine. I suppose it's possible that
the machine itself is to blame (issue with PCI bus?) but I don't think
the hard drive is the problem. It's a newer 7200 RPM Western
Digital drive with 8 mb cache.<br>
<br>
Any guesses? I'd love to be able to utilize Firewire capture,
since it's much more reliable now thanks to those pluctl commands - but
if I can't fix this video slow-mo issue than I think I'll have to ditch
it. <br>

<br><br>What speed setting do you have set for the firewire capture device? try<br>increasing it as Myth will change these plug values when you use firewire as<br>a capture device.<br><br>Steve<br>_______________________________________________
