I had this problem on my similar Fedora Core 4 system. Removing the
nvidia drivers and installing the version recommended in the wiki
(1.0.8756) cleared this up and now i can fast forward up to 120x. I am
using ivtv version 0.7.0 which is pretty current for my kernel. I am
not using any fancy video options, such as XvMC. However the XvMC wiki
page has info about nvidia drivers.<br>

As of 2006-04-7, the currently recommended driver version is:
<b>1.0.8756</b> as it fixes the <a

earlier versions, as well as fixing the AGP + XvMC issues on 6200
series cards.<br>
