Hi, I've read some reports about jerky video, but found few workable answers, but I'm hoping my extra symptoms may prompt suggestions.
In addition to jerky live and recorded TV, I also get jerky music from mythmusic. By contrast, KDE TV and Amarok have no difficulties with TV and music respectively. My hardware is * Barebones: EZ-Buddie2 * Graphics: XFX FX5200 Personal Cinema * TV card: Leadtek WinFast 2000XP Deluxe * Processor: Celeron 2.26Ghz * Memory: 256Mb * Hard drive: Maxtor 80Gb * DVD: NEC DVD R/W I'm using a Mandrake 10.2 multimedia kernel and also have added rtc as a preloaded module, so I think i have everything that I could possibly have to improve performance, but the results remain poor.
