[mythtv-users] application not reading fast enough?

[Rich West]

I hadn't noticed these errors previously, but I cannot say for sure if 
they were or were not showing up...

I'm seeing errors like :
ivtv2: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
ivtv2: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.
ivtv0: All encoder MPEG stream buffers are full. Dropping data.
ivtv0: Cause: the application is not reading fast enough.

I wasn't (and, after some googling, I am still not) sure what to make of 
them.  The only thing that I came across that had a fair amount of 
relevance was:
http://malformed.org/2006/01/31/new-ivtv-error-from-mythtv-ivtv0-all-encoder-mpeg-stream-buffers-are-full-dropping-data/

Which was on some blog from back in Jan 2006.  I figure that information 
is probably a bit old, and, from the info on the ivtv wiki, the options 
mentioned in the blog entry are probably out dated as well.

So.. the question.. is this really ivtv related, or is it a mythtv 
issue?  Or, perhaps, is it a hardware issue (not being able to write to 
disk fast enough)?
