Ok, here's a weird data point: If I prevent mythtv from being able to use
XVideo (by starting mplayer to grab the xv port -- ati drivers only seem to
provide a single port) then it plays back perfectly.

Why would mythtv play back at the wrong speed when using XVideo but play back
at the correct rate when using plain Xshm?



(Playing back without Xv uses about 90% of my cpu which is a bit
disappointing. mplayer uses under 30% of my cpu to play the same video)
