I've been trying to figure this out myself as I currently use Viktor's patch
on my 0.20 system.
Looking at the source code for mythtv-vid and the current trunk, it seems
that it might be in for OpenGL mode but not normal XvMC mode, so you'll
still have to do the modification yourself....

However, your experience with bob sounds a bit odd. What should happen if
you try to use bob with an interlaced modeline it should complain about the
refresh rate being too low and drop back to "onefield" (check this using
"mythfrontend -v playback"). I wouldn't expect it to drop to 1-2fps unless
you were very CPU bound!

It's probably something to do with your sync settings, have a play with
nvidia-settings.
Also are you trying to watch DVB-T (Freeview) recordings with XvMC enabled?
(Do a search for some of my postings related to this if you are...)

Cheers

Steve
