[mythtv-users] Ivtv dies when recording at 1am

has any one seen a problem like this where ivtv will just stop sending
information to myth?

I've got a pvr 250 and any time I try to record a program that is on
around 1am it dies out.  1am is also when my pvr does it's
transcodeing of all the shows recorded that day...

Myth seems to think that it is still recording, but there is nothing
more being recorded, and I get messages like below in my
/var/log/messages

now I don't think that transcoding video's is going to suck up enough
of my hard drive bandwidth to cause any problems (segate 200 GB sata
drives software raid 0)  but I can't seem to track down why this is
happening.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited.
