Hi, after many months of tweaking this, denoising that, jitter reducing 
everything etc etc, all to no avail...

I finally sorted the 'not 100% smooth' problem.

I reniced X  -12 and mythfrontend  -2.. which basically gives them a bit 
more priority.

Instant result.

Search the threads for other example figures, but that's what worked a 
treat for me. We can barely tell the difference between 'normal' tv and 
Myth Live TV now.

Hope this helps you too...
