I have a PVR350 and have been very pleased with the output of the xdriver, so I switched my livetv output to use xv rather than the mpeg2 decoder. It works great, but I do notice that when I'm recording and playing back at the same time on the 350 (livetv), the cpu usage of X goes from around 12% to 50% on my Athlon XP 3200. It starts at around 12% and holds for around 5 to 10 minutes and then climbs to 50% where it remains. I have not seen this behavior when I watch something prerecorded (and my card isn't recording anything else). Has anyone else seen this? I'm using development snapshot 2718 of ivtv.

On an unrelated note, when I use xv to view things recorded by the 350, the output looks great, including interlaced video like CNN. But when I use it to view DVDs with xine, it seems that the field order is reversed. Is there a good command line for xine to get proper scaling/positioning of interlaced DVD output (without deinterlace filters thanks)? My current command line is: xine -pfhqB --auto-scan dvd
