I tried the xvmc-opengl but I got an error saying not
available in the frontend log. I did some searching
and it looks like that it's not available in the rpms.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/200214

I'm not compiling from source since I'm using rpms
from  ATrpms.net. The Chromakey won't work since it's
not available for the 7300 and the frontend log let's
you know that when you try to use it.
