Hi Jussi,
Thanks for your usefull answer.
In the latest sources the define is now USE_HACK_FOR_BROKEN_I420_SUPPORT_IN_DRIVER.
I uncommented the line, recompiled the library and installed it with success.
The colors are now correct, my sky is blue and my tomatos are red.
Thanks again.
Alex

Yes, It's a bug in the ATI drivers. There's a hack that you could use to get rid of the problem. It didn't work for me, though..
Here's a quote from the MythTV-talk forums:
---
You need to recompile with USE_ATI_PROPRIETARY_DRIVER_XVIDEO_HACK enabled
See: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-20-fixes/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videoout_xv.cpp#L67
Also you may need to modify this function to include your Xv adaptor: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-20-fixes/mythtv/libs/libmythtv/videoout_xv.cpp#L3448

I don't think this will be fixed in MythTv so the only option is to bug ATI to fix their drivers. I'm personally probably going to just
get rid of my ATI card and try NVidia.

When I use the internal player for whatever in MythtTV it works except that the blue and red channels are swapped (the sky is red and the tomatos are blue :-D )
When I use mplayer I don't have the problem. That's ok for watching videos and DVDs but not for TV because we can't change the player.
I found that this problem is bound with the DRI (direct rendering) option of the ATI Radeon driver (official driver from ATI).
When I desactivate the DRI the colors are OK but then all the work is done by the CPU and it looks that it is not fast enough (sound not sync with picture, frames droped,...)
Does anyone have an idea/solution?
I've read somewhere that the internal player was based on mplayer and found in the mplayer change log that there was a very old fixed bug (Feb 1, 2001) about swapped red-blue
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/ChangeLog-1.0rc1 Could this be the same?
