Comment (by Peter <peterpf_mitchell@…>):

 I discovered yesterday evening that I am also suffering this issue:
 Fedora 18 with 0.26 fixes. Graphics card is an ancient Nvidia GT6600. This
 is running with the Nouveau driver as obviously the GT6600 does not
 support VDPAU.

 The machine used to be my combined frontend / backend but a few months ago
 I built a new dedicated i5 based frontend with a GT640 - also Fedora 18
 based but using the NVidia propriety drivers and as a result I have not
 touched the frontend on the old machine for a while. It is now mainly used
 as the backend.

 When I initially set up the old machine in its current configuration
 (approx 3 months ago) the frontend was working correctly using the Nouveau
 driver, however last night I discovered that video was now running fast
 with audio at the correct rate. The only changes that have happened to the
 backend is the installation of updates via yum update. I suspect that
 something has changed within the Nouveau driver that is causing the
 frontend to experience issues.

 My new frontend with the propriety NVidia drivers continues to work
 correctly although it is not quite as up to date int terms of the
 installed packages.

 Incidentally some time ago I did have the old GT6600 based machine running
 with Fedora 16 + Myth 0.25 and using the Nvidia driver however  there was
 no benefit to me from using the NVidia driver and in fact I experienced
 stability issues that were resolved by reverting to Nouveau. For this
 reason when I upgraded to Fedora 18 + 0.26 I did not bother trying the
 Nvidia driver with that particular graphics card.
