James,

Let me guess, you're recording DVB (e.g. DVB-T/Freeview) streams right?

If so then I encountered the same problem, it turned out to be when the DVB
stream contained more than one audio stream the playback would stutter
terribly.

I created a quick and dirty fix for mine that records only the first audio
stream I find (for the channel). Although logically this might encounter
problems (I should really look for the first stereo audio stream), in
practice I've encountered no problems....

Cheers

Steve
