Direct Memory Acess (DMA)
Do the Snap Stream recorded TV shows quality improve and does it save CPU usage if you enable the direct memorary access in Windows? If you change the Windows animation feature do you lose frames when recording TV shows? I haven't seen any Snap Stream thread on these two points?

DMA is in reference to hard drives. There is no real difference in DMA on your hard drive or non DMA since we aren't really dealing with a high bandwidth of data traveling to the disk. If you were ripping a DVD or something then you have ALOT of data to deal with. It might save you a few CPU cycles since it doesn't have to go throught the processor but nothing that you can really tell a difference in. Enable DMA if you have it. Nothing to lose if you do.
Since the TV Window isn't displayed turning the windows animation on and off shouldn't matter. I know showshifter has a problem with it set on but they also have a fullscreen UI.
