I've been running mythdora for a while now (Version 2.32, 3 and 4).
Presently running 4.0 on my P4 3.0 with 512 memory, PVR 250 and firewire card.
When I watch movies on my DVD it runs fine for 15 - 25 mins then the screen freezes (as if someone pressed pause) then for 1 - 2 min it remains froozen. Then the picture and sound returns as if someone hit superfast forward for 15 seconds. Then the dvd continues to play fine.
My movie player is xine.
Any suggestions.

It sounds like you're having I/O contention with your DVD device. Like you fill up some buffer with video information and when that's exhausted you get this freeze, then a catch-up with the new buffer. What does the memory footprint look like when this is happening?
You can use free -m to see current memory statistics, but also try iostat to see if you have large I/O wait times. With only 512MB it's possible you may be exhausting the available memory and using swap for buffers. This could be especially true depending on what type of video card you have, if recordings are happening simultaneously, etc.
