Chris- It's my guess that you might need to look a little more at your playback/video driver settings than the capture. Try playing the files on a different machine/software. I've got a 350 and a 500 in a frontend/backend box-(Athlon xp 2900). In mythtv, CNN text looks great on pvr-350 tv-out. I see stuttering of the cnn ticker when I use the nvidia 5200 dvi out. Same content streamed to a remote frontend which is ati based pundit-r via vga to lcd monitor shows no stuttering. I've tried all the tricks from every google search I can think of with the nvidia driver, but it just isn't as good as the pvr-350 for me.
