Um yeah... With a dumb capture card like yours, you need atleast 1gz for low quality. With the default quality settings, it is probably more like 1.6 - 1.8gz. If you replaced your capture card with a PVR150/250/350/500, your 850mzh machine will probably work fine. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I took all the same hardware and just changed the mb and the cpu, from asus mb with 850mhz to gigabyte with 2400+ xp cpu, same everything else and the problem went away, and the new system had more ram, 512 vs 384. So I guess I didn't have enough cpu.
