Just a quick update. Because I have been unsuccessful getting XvMC to 
operate on my nVidia 6150 and 6200 frontends and require XvMC on my 
VIA EPIA M10000 machine, the best solution was to define a global 
environment variable in /home/mythtv/.bashrc with the statement:

export XINEOPTIONS="-V xxmc" for my VIA Frontends

and

export XINEOPTIONS="" for my nVidia Frontends

Then in "Utilities/Setup", "Setup", "Media Settings", "Videos 
Settings", "Files Types", under the Extension: iso, I placed the 
following command.

/usr/bin/xine -pfhq -D $XINEOPTIONS --no-splash --no-mouse dvd:/%s

It works great.
