Curtis, as a trunk user, you may be affected by the exact same 
configuration issue discussed in 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/314870#314870 (are 
you running an NV8-series GPU)?

If that fixes the issue, please post a comment to #3773 that the issue 
was due to a misconfiguration of your playback profiles so it can be closed.
