I can confirm this behavior. Yesterday I pulled up the OSD and I noticed 
it was in color, a dead giveaway XvMC is not working, so I poked around 
some but didn't find anything. I went back to watching the NBA game in 
HD and sometime later I pulled up the OSD again and this time it came up 
gray. My Myth frontend has enough horsepower to not miss using XvMC so 
who knows how often this happens. The really weird thing is that the 
front end log file had the Bad Alloc message yet XvMC was working.
