I have Beyond TV 3, an All-in-Wonder Radeon 8500 DV, and an Athlon 2 GHz.
Sometimes when I'm recording a show and doing other things at the same time
(possibly including watching another recorded show), the "other things" take
too much CPU time and the recorded stream gets corrupted. When this
happens, BTV3's time counter gets messed up; it finishes recording, but
won't determine where commercials are, or play it successfully.
I think that by using a hardware MPEG encoder, I can solve this problem, by
making the recording take much less time. Is there such a thing? Does it
work with my video card? Does BTV3 support it? Are there other solutions
that don't involve additional hardware? Thanks.
