Of course :-)
Look at the logs enclosed - you can see that one (113) says :
Using XvMC version: 1.1
XvMC found and using VLD surface
2005-11-18 00:10:38.086 Using XV port 68
2005-11-18 00:10:39.335 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
whilst the other (115) says :
Using XvMC version: 1.1
XvMC found and using MC surface
2005-11-18 00:08:55.587 Using XV port 68
Unable to create XvMC Blocks
2005-11-18 00:08:57.225 Changing from None to WatchingPreRecorded
Thanks, Axel,
