Softdevice uses the ffpmeg version you specified in Makefile. By default
it is set to /usr/local/ffmpeg. My testing version is a cvs snapshot from
early february this year.

Do the error happen with recorings or live view ?

Your CPU Ghz should be OK.

From vdrportal I got an other hint but no feedback. So please
change in mpeg2decoder.c about line 325 from:
      if (validPTS /*&& context->coded_frame->pict_type == FF_I_TYPE*/) {
to:
      if (validPTS && context->coded_frame->pict_type == FF_I_TYPE) {

That was a fix for some DVB-T stations in finnland.
