I was under the impressions that libmythavcodec has fixed some of the 
artifacting (as mark put it ).
Anyways, I haven't replaced the library, I've just added the missing 
interlaced stuff and I haven't noticed any blocking. The image is 
crystal clear except for the first few frames that are blocky until it 
hits the I frame or something.
If you want, I can make a patch and post it here so you'll try it.

P.S. sorry for the top posting... mailer was misconfigured
