Re-transcoding my recordings seems to be fixing my problems for the
most part. It doesn't lock up with a black screen when I first attempt
to playback a recording anymore.

But it's still not perfect. On some recordings, I get stuttering in
video and audio (and don't on my non-atv frontend). Oddly, skipping
back and then continuing playback often seems to fix the stuttering. I
have also had it lock up in the middle of a recording, requiring a
reboot to correct. Doing a "top" when this occurs reveals frontend is
using up to 99.9% of the CPU. I'm wondering if moving up to the latest
version of mythtv might correct some these problems, but I suspect
many of them are because of NVIDIA's driver.

Another tip for any noobs reading this thread. An annoying problem
that I ran into was my volume being way too low. As I mentioned in my
guide above, this can be fixed with alsamixer. However, I noticed
every time that I re-boot, once again the volume was too low. This can
be remedied by issuing the following command after adjusting the
volume with alsamixer:

sudo alsactl store

Thanks for the help, Robert!
