Hello,

i have a VDR up and running, the SW works fine so far (at least i think so).

Some recordings are half-corrupted, have breaks inbetween, bad sound, etc.

The bad-quality problem is not related to a certain channel, i wonder how i can track this down.

My hardware: 2 (TWO !) Terratec Cinergy PCI cards. <-- two cards MSI C847 MS-E33 board

I gave up on this card. It has been about 2 years since I last tried it, but the driver (mantis) had (and most likely still has) serious problems with some DMA timeouts, IIRC. Running irqbalance di help a little bit, but in the end I replaced the cards with something less broken.

YMMV.
