That's what I wanted to hear, thanks.

Perhaps we should get a standard test file recorded with an HD-PVR at maximum 
bitrate for folks to test playback setups.

I don't have the time to keep up with trunk and its mandatory reading, but I'm 
definitely looking forward to using my HD-PVR as something other than a 
paperweight, once 0.22 is released. To me it's more important than VDPAU, 
because I have CPUs that can decode anything by brute force, but I have no 
way to record satellite HD at the moment.
