I have a 8400gs and experience no problems with play back or audio.. The 
driver I am using is 260.19.06.
The play back profile is Vdpau slim. The processor is a core 2 Duo e8400 
ant 3.0 Ghz, 2Gig's of ram... I checked with top and mythfrontend is 
useing 21% CPU... The Movie I checked with is Pirates of the Caribbean, 
The Curse of the Black Pearl,It was ripped with makeMKV...
