Adam, I am seeing a similar issue with my PVR250 as detailed in the thread here: http://www.ivtvdriver.org/pipermail/ivtv-users/2006-March/001875.html The firmware seems to hang at random times during the encoding process. The issue likewise appeared for me when I upgraded from MythTV0.18.1/ivtv0.2.0 to mythtv0.19/ivtv0.4.0. I have tried all the encoder firmware versions listed on ivtvdriver.org and they all show the same issue. I have also tried downgrading to ivtv0.2.0 again, but it shows the same symptoms. I have not as yet downgraded MythTV to 0.18.1 to test if it is somehow causing the firmware hang. One thing I am curious of... I see that you have two ivtv cards in your system. One appears to be a newer PVR250, and the second an older PVR250MCE (unknown device 4801). Do you experience the hang on both your cards, or only one of them? I seem to be only seeing the issue on my older PVR250MCE (unknown device 4801). My PVR150 card will encode for hours on end without a problem.
