[TriLUG] Troubleshooting dropped frames with firewire and dvgrab

[Cristobal Palmer]

man hdparm

See esp. the section "-d     Disable/enable the "using_dma" flag for
this drive...."

Also, for sound recording I've heard it recommended that one not use
GNOME or EVIL^WKDE as these both cause xruns.

Best of luck. :)
