What is xvmc?

Is it really a good idea to use the trunk for something that's as 
complete as mythtv? (I can understand using the trunk for something 
pre-alpha.)

Here are the specs of the computers:

The computer running mythbackend:
Asus K8N-E (nForce4 Ultra)
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ s939
1GB PC3200 (2x512MB)
nVidia GeForce 6600
Using onboard sound
Using onboard ethernet (forcedeth)
Gentoo i686 w/ linux-2.6.15-ck1


My Computer:
Asus K8V-X (Via K8T800)
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ s754
1GB PC3200
nVidia GeForce 6800GT 256MB
M-Audio Revolution 7.1
Using onboard ethernet (marvel 88NE8001)
Gentoo i686 w/ linux 2.6.14-ck6

Switch: Dlink DGS-1005D (both connected with Cat5e, speed is around 
250-280Mb/s)
