For some reason bobdeint is giving me problems. If I enable it while
using xvmc, I go from perfectly smooth playback to just a few frames
a second. If I use bobdeint with xvmc-vld then I get better playback
but still with a lot of hiccups. It's like my system can only just
manage playback, and bobdeint puts it over the edge, yet so I'm told 
it's done in hardware. I don't really know how to track it down.

Also, in theory, bobdeint shouldn't cure the sync problem. I have a
thread in dev going about that.

That's interesting. In what way is the ME6000 lacking in ability
to give good VGA output?
