(For what it's worth: I was watching a DVD and for the first time
ever the picture would "freeze" momentarily. Again, this was
occurring while smart was trying to update the channels.)
Check the DMA settings.
You can work around this by starting your smart tools with a higher
'nice' setting. e.g.:
nice -+19 smart ...
That will run it at a lower priority and your videos are less likely to
skip. i use this all the time when copying using scp, because scp takes
up so much CPU and causes videos to pause/skip.
