You are quite correct with respect to mpeg2 - the problems start to occur
with DVD menus (very hit and miss) and some other video formats. Its not a
generic XvMC problem, its specific to the ViaXvMCPro support in MythTV and
the limitation on the number of surfaces available. Since I have a
workaround, I've never bothered with raising any more tickets (I've done
my share of them!!).

Cheers
