ha ha. right. I've played around and it seems certain recordings are

files?
I've seen these errors occasionally, and think it may be a case where
the machine was i/o bound and ivtv was generating data faster than Myth
could record it to disk. Sometimes the video is still watchable,
although with lots of artifacts and occasional pauses. The only real
solution I've found is to schedule it for re-recording.
The first 4 characters of the filename are the channel ID. You can look
up that channel in the mythconverg database using:
select capturecard.cardid,videodevice,inputname from channel \
join cardinput on cardinput.sourceid=channel.sourceid \
join capturecard on capturecard.cardid=cardinput.cardid \
where chanid=9999;
Substitute the channel ID from the filename in place of 9999, of course.
Of course, this won't help if you have the same source assigned to
multiple capture cards. The only sure-fire way (that I've ever heard)
to know which card recorded a show is to look at the logs.
