Thanks for the response Daniel.

It seems odd, but I do quite often get the MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC_VLD to work
and CPU load drops accordingly to a low value.

I can't explain as to why it sometimes uses it and sometimes doesn't.

I had the same recording using MPEG2VIDEO and MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC_VLD on two
successive "plays". It's all very confusing.

As I tried to diagnose further, it seems to now (annoyingly, but nicely)
pick MPEG2VIDEO_XVMC_VLD more consistantly.

I don't really know what I did to fix this, but for the moment I'll keep
quiet and hope for the best :)

If it starts cropping up again, I'll let you/user list know.

Cheers.

Col.
