Hello

I have experimented some more with the card, including the following:
* Putting into another computer, MSI motherboard Nforce 4 ultra chipset 
with an AMD Athlon64 3500+
* Adjusting the PCI latency timers to various values
* Cooling down the card by directing a fan at it (I noticed the on board 
mpeg encoder becoming very hot)

these tries were all unsuccessful. To be absolutely sure to rule out any 
hardware malfunction, I rapidly installed windows xp. *boom* it appears 
it doesn't suffer from this video stutter under windows! So it's either 
linux or the ivtv driver.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Glenn
