Hi,

nvrec (divx4rec mostly) I'm using now since about March close to daily
on my saa7134 md9717 and now a cvs version also with a FV3K on test
kernels. I do timeshift playback with xine to Nvidia GF4 tvout, also
over nfs mounts, and _never_ noticed user visible a/v sync problems.

For mencoder just repeated the maximum load test with the 1 GHz Athlon I
did with 2.4.20-v4l2, when Jindrich brought the v4l2-patch, using the
same settings on test11 with test10-kraxelpatch-2. (new patch with
MT2050 tuner is released)

Same result. A/V is completly in sync for 720x576 PAL mpeg4 and audio
stereo with lame for what I can see :) Crond was disabled and no user
activities, mplayer-cvs-030915. Don't know if it is currently broken.

Full log is here (179K):
