There was a patch recently posted to the devel list that helped this
issue for me, without completely fixing it.  The name of the patch was
xv-xvmc-merge-v1.patch.  The changes in that patch don't appear to
have been applied to CVS (as of yesterday at least) but they did still
apply (with some fuzz) to CVS from yesterday.
