For those of you interested, I've managed to get some streams playing using
mplayer.

I used the latest cvs versions of both ffmpeg and mplayer with the following
patch applied to ffmpeg:-

http://students.washington.edu/lorenm/src/x264/ffh264_mbaff.0.diff

Quality appears to be pretty good but I'd guess I'm only getting 12-15 fps
(Ahtlon XP3000+, 1 Gig RAM, FX6200). Trying to get vlc up and running now
but applying the patch directly to the mythtv source doesn't work as yet.
