Here's my experience with playing the Apple h.264 clips in the
Internal player[1] with a recent SVN:

* Video plays, but no audio. Adding --enable-libfaac and/or
  --enable-libfaad to MythTV's ./configure permits audio to
  function. Example: bbc_cctv.
* Video plays, but no audio. Haven't yet found a configure flag that
  permits audio to work. Example: bbc_japan.
* MythVideo returns to the file view after a few seconds of
  black. Discussed in the already-mentioned ticket #4419. Example:
  barberofseville.

[1] Aside from the performance issues; I'm just talking about
compatibility here.
