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.
