<br><br>Not sure where this fits in, but I have some info I want to share about my particulat situation which might help us all along the path to resolving this.<br><br>First, the relevant (I think) stats:<br><br>amd64 3800
<br>2.6.15<br>myth 0.19<br>fc4<br>pvr350 / hd3000<br>turtle beach riviera using spdif<br>sata 4 disk raid 5<br>nvidia 6600GT<br><br>My issues:<br><br>Trying to use xvmc (which worked mostly fine under 0.18.1) does not produce ANY performance enhancements, IN FACT, sdtv on the pvr350 still hits the cpu at around 92%. My best odds for consistent sd/hd playback are using ffmpeg - regardless of deint choices. To be honest, I seem to have tons of prebuffering/rebuffering issues all over the place - again, new to this install - which I think are causing all my perf issues. Does that help, or is this the wrong thread?
