Quartz is only available on , which isn't available on 64 bits
platform. Not sure what the osx-sourceforge folks are using

it's surprising it ever worked. from the various reports here, without
hardware decoding, for the HD stream from the HD-PVR, you need > 3GHz
C2D.
I now that I've never managed to watch those files with my mini (320M
with C2D 2.4GHz) hence why I boot on ubuntu and use VDPAU

maybe something else changed on your hd-pvr.

I could build a version that force using VDA for deinterlaced content.
but be aware that it may crash your mac completely
