The reason i mentioned the dvbplayer.c thread, is that this problem was mitigated by using different code to feed the softdevice mpeg2 decoder; using softplay to playback recordings provided dropout free playback. I'm not sure if softplay works with FF cards, but you might get the source at softdevice.berlios.de to give it a try. -- Torgeir Veimo torgeir@xxxxxxxxx
