Just for reference, my Firewire box (DCT6200) is hooked up to a Dell P3 1Ghz, which is conifgured as a slave-backend streaming the video to my master backend/frontend box which is in my living room. While I can't prove it, I don't think my network is the issue here - nor is the harddrive. I've sorta been assuming that maybe it's a slow PCI bus/motherboard issue on the Dell box, but I'm not sure.
Anyway, I realize you're having other issues with FireWire but I just thought I'd see if you were seeing this choppy video stuff on non-HD content as well.
