:) My hypothesis was that the card was generating a file that (for
whatever reason) didn't work well under MythTV's XvMC use. I do need
to try one with mplayer (as suggested a little while ago). I've tried
HD with mplayer just fine, but assumed that the "smaller" file would
work fine - so it's never been tested.
For the archive record, without XvMC SD plays just fine. It's only
with it enabled that things get very strange.

XvMC is enabled, and works fine with an HD-sourced recording
(PCHDTV-5000-sourced, technically). It's only a problem with a PVR500-
sourced recording. I will check the frontend setup logs and look for
differences between the two.
It is a little strange - a supposedly "easier" file (less resolution,
at least) causes problems. Odd.
