Update, I updated my version of Myth to SVN version 9953 and I now have the
Standard XvMC option in Playback settings but if I select that choice and
try to play something back it kills XWindows and I get this error message
from mythfrontend:
VideoOutputXv Error: XvMC output requested, but is not supported by display.
