[mythtv-users] Choppy Video in mythfrontend, but not in xawtv

[Tom Williams]

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
