You can timestretch DVD's (or anything else) on a properly compiled xine 
install with the audio postprocessing filter "stretch."  But, getting 
everything in Myth's internal player has many other benefits, as you 
mentioned.

The use of OpenGL in the menus is currently fairly limited in all 
themes.  TTBOMK, the only effect currently available is the "fade" (the 
one you're seeing in MythCenter-wide) and there's not yet support for 
themes to choose from the list of available effects (of which, there's 
the one right now ;).
