[mythtv-users] MythVideo - blurry 'internal' vs crisp 'mplayer'

Hi, I'm running .20a of myth, and I'm trying to use the internal player 
for mythvideo.  I'm not very impressed with the quality of the picture 
though, it all comes out blurred, almost like there is a strong 
deinterlacing filter on it or something. On the other hand, when 
watching the same videos in mplayer they look nice and crisp as always.  
This occurs for all video types I've tried mpg, mpeg2, avi (xvid/divx).

I'm running this out on svideo on an  EPIA M10000 with XvMC built and... 
but since this occurs with non-mpeg2 files I don't think XvMC even comes 
into play.
mplayer output is xv, with the following "mplayer -zoom - fs -vo xv %s"

I'd like to be able to use the same interface for all my videos, but the 
quality is so different between the two.
Is there any way I can turn off whatever (filter?) is causing this?  
I've tried changing all the settings I can in the playback menu, and 
none of them seem to fix it.   Please let me know if you need more 
information.

Thanks!

* I had tried internal with various .19 svn builds as well and 
experienced the same results
