ok i got the dvd to play by using -vo x11. It looks as though the
PVR350 does not have Xv support.  Can anyone positively confirm this? 
Unfortunately, the playback on the video seems slower than it should
be, and the audio is ahead of the video.. So i guess that leaves me
with this question.. is there anyway i can get xv working on the
pvr350? Or if there isn't is there anything i can do to make the x11
playback acceptable or some other option i can choose?

thanks,
Evan
