[QUOTE="Redth, post: 314572, member: 53162"] Well I have some news to report... I was also experiencing stuttering live tv (haven't really tested recordings much, as I don't really use them) and getting lots of continuity errors in my tswriter.log file. This was translating into dropped frames by tsreader, and after I used the altered filter to keep dropped frames, I saw the pixelations and video distortions instead of just a stutter as the frames weren't being dropped. I have a 3x500gb raid 5 array, which I've partitioned to approximately 40gb for windows/software and 950gb for storing movies, etc... I had early on decided to move my timeshift and recording folders onto my second partition. When I saw your post Trouty, I decided to give it a try even though I'm not really dealing with different IDE channels. I don't know of a technical reason why one partition would slow down tswriter on my setup as they both reside on the same drives :s... But, I tried it anyways. Low and behold I've been watching live HD tv for about 20 minutes now without a single continuity error or stutter. In the same time span, I probably would have had 100 continuity errors before moving the timeshift folder back. Again, I can't really explain it (unless the partitions need a defrag, which is entirely possible), but it's working fine now. Hopefully this helps someone else out! I'm glad I read your post Trouty. I had given it a thought but you convinced me to try it :) [/QUOTE]
