Sorry I haven't followed up on this right away. The past couple of
days I haven't had much time to play around with my Myth box :)

How do I check that xvmcw can find libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1?

Before, I wasn't using the atrpm nvidia packages. Rather, I used the
nvidia installer to manually install the drivers. So, to get back in
sync with everything else, I've manually removed the drivers I
installed, and then installed all of the versions of the nvidia
drivers from atrpm's I could find. Then, using nvidia-graphics-switch,
I tried them all out in mythfrontend to see what happened. Here's my
results:

v. 7167 and v 7174: X wouldn't even work correctly (dim or garbled output)

v. 7667 and 7676: Same behaviour as before. mythfrontend starts up
fine, but playing back any video, screen goes black and freezes up.

v. 7664: Ah, this is interesting. Instead of going to black and
freezing, v7664 stops almost immeadiately with an error message saying
that it couldn't playback the video. I can then escape back into the
Myth interface.

To get a better idea of what's going on, I ran mythfrontend and "-v
playback"'d to a log file. Here's from v. 7664:
