 Me too! :)

 Playing my h264 videos causes Myth to crash within a few seconds. It's
 very easy
 to reproduce, here's a sample file.

 Trying to play this with MythVideo, or with the mythtv command causes a
 crash.
 This seems to happen regardless of what playback profile I use.

 This is the first 30 seconds of the Australian Futurama DVDs (PAL 576i),
 ripped with mencoder using the x264 and faac codecs. The file plays
 flawlessly
 with Mplayer, VLC, Xine and Quicktime.

 I'm using MythTV 0.21 with the Kubuntu 7.10 backport packages. If
 necessary I
 can build from source to give you a stack trace.

 Thanks.
