Hi Andrew,

I am using the standard code for this testing (latest SVN snapshot,
built via the osx-packager.pl script).   I tried your Core Video patch
shortly after you submitted it, and it worked great for the most part.
    I just had an issue with some "tearing" in the video output, so I
ended up going back to the standard quartz vo module.



Also -- I am using the AC3 passthrough, based on your patch, and that
works great.  DD5.1 audio from broadcast HD, and DVDs via the internal
player.
