[mythtv-users] fanless Epia, Mediamvp or network dvd player for frontend?

Which reminds me of a problem I've been having.  I have a MediaMVP.  I have
this problem that when I play .vob files off of my MythTV machine (in
Videos), I get terrible performance.  The video is basically OK but the
sound is all messed up (out of sync, "jerky", etc).

Does this have something to do with the DD2.0/5.1 issue?!?  I tried
transcoding but it was a disaster (hung my system, generated huge files,
audio out of sync) because I did it from the command line using transcode.
If anybody has a rock solid command line way of down sampling audio, video
or both from .vob files I would be interested.

Thanks.
