Hi Peter,
I certainly have been fighting with this problem. I thought the new
driver had fixed the problem initially. Then it showed up again. I have
yet to solve it completely but I think you might notice that if you turn
down the quality settings a bit the DMA errors should be less frequent
(ie. turn down resolution, bitrate, ave bitrate, audio bitrate).
I am contemplating getting new ram since some people have suggested that
bad ram may be partly to blame.
Joe.
