[vdr] Re: bad record / playback quality

[Christian Fritz <chfritz1@yahoo.com>]

Hello

Thanks for all the tips.
I have changed the /video Partition from reiserfs to
ext. Recording improoved a little bit since then. 
There are still problems with "moving objects" when
reocrding them, but the sound is clear now (it was
kind of robotic before)
Top shows now a CPU load of up to 50% when recording.
Maybe somebody from you who is also running vdr on a
slow CPU could do a Top while recording and so we
could compare the results...
All other Partitions on my system are running
reiserfs, I am thinking of reinstalling the whole
thing and use ext instead if theres a chance that this
will solve the problem. Or i wait until i find a
better PC .....

regards 

Christian
