The reason you can't get xvmc to work with this setup is because you
have denoise3d and kerneldeint enabled.  You can't use playback
filters other than bob with xvmc.  I have no idea why the original
poster can't get it to work though.  Like someone else suggested, I
would try recompiling myth with the new library.
