Hi All,



I am new to MythTv, but I have setup a RH9 box the details are below.
Here is what I am dealing with when I launch xawtv it seems fine the
video is smooth no big issues there, when I fire up mythfrontend, and
try to watch the video it seems very choppy, audio is out of sync...any
ideas?



2GHz AMD CPU

RH 9

ATI Wonder VE - Comp. Input

ATI Radeon AGP (installed with the ati drivers from their site)

100Gig Drive,

500Meg Ram



Any thoughts or things I can look at, when I look at 'top' the CPU is
just getting nailed when mythfront is running I have even tried things
like renice -20 on the front end but still no luck...any help would be
greatly appreciated.



I am willing to upgrade the capture card if that is the issue but I need
to know that before I spend the $$ money..



Thanks

Tom





For one, xawtv just plays the stream. With Myth, the stream is encoded, written to disk and decoded. Your system should be powerful enough to handle this... The only thing I can think of is to ensure DMA is enabled on your hard drive.
