Basically the application is not reading fast enough and ivtv has to go somewhere with the data. So it does the only thing it can do and throw away some. > I'll have to pay a little closer attention, but I think the video stream > gets a little choppy when this happens.

Although increasing the buffer for ivtv probably solves it the problem lies with the application, and I suspect it is mythtv? To increase the buffer for mpeg load ivtv with module option enc_mpg_buffers=8 for example. The real problem is that mythtv (If you are using Mythtv) wants to do too much in one go. I read there is a patch on the mythtv tracker but I do not know the bug number or name of the patch. Probably the USER-LIST knows this as I read it there.
