Is anyone using the Mac MPEG2 acceleration?     I thought it was not
ready for general usage yet, but a few threads on the accellent
(defyne.org) site made it sound more stable.

Is there anything needed from the Mac/Myth community on this?  Is more
testing of the Myth frontend needed, or is the underlying MPEG2 API
reverse engineering where the work is needed?
