[mythtv] hd-pvr and playback

[Steve Heistand]

so I have the latest svn trunk build and the handy v4l libraries from jannau.
I can record from this beast just fine now. playback is my issue at the moment.
I can playback non-HD recordings just fine. however HD recordings start
giving my machine fits. mostly it seems in the audio department.
for a few seconds all is fine then mythtvfrontend starts taking up ~150% of a cpu.
(3.0ghz intel core 2 duo with 4G ram)
then things start stuttering. the audio is way behind the video and the video seems
to be slowing down to allow the audio to catch up.
This is with the internal myth player.
mplayer and vlc all choke on the files so at least mythtv is doing something
at least better.

any thoughts or suggestions?

thanks
