[mythtv-users] 64-bit Ubuntu 7.10/Mythtv

[Josh White]

For some reason, I can play a DVD just fine using VLC, but I cannot do it
with MythDVD.  I believe I can also play the DVD with mplayer (I am away
from my machine right now, or I would test that belief before stating it).
I have not changed any of the default MythDVD settings as far as player
options are concerned (I believe the player setting is set to "internal").
When I try to watch Live TV from my backend, I get clean audio with
pink/green squiggly horizontal lines (typically a video codec problem).
Livetv works fine on my Frontend/Backend machine (running Ubuntu
7.10i386).  I had problems viewing .mp4 and .avi files (I'm not
exactly sure
what codec they are using, I'm not sure where the .avi's were created, but
the .mp4 files were created no the same machine when it was running Ubuntu
7.04 i386).  I hope this stirs the pot enough to generate some more ideas;
it has me throughly confused.
