It looks like maybe you are trying to use XvMc but it's not setup correctly.

Can you tell us:

1. What version of myth are you running?
2. What distro?
3. What make and model of graphics card - Nvidia, ATI, other?
4. Your input source / capture card - PVR-150, DVB, HD OTA?
5. System info - CPU, RAM, disk.
