I placed the linux vdr disk, the two cards (2.1+nove)
into an other PC with 700 MHz Celeron with 66Mhz FSB, 
2*64MB RAM, i810 Chip set.


As expected:
No "MPEG1" errors anymore!
The budget(nova) card seems to be OK.
The recording quality of the second card is MUCH better, 
but has artefacts in audio and video too, but not so many.

Might it be a problem located nearer to hardware drivers?
