I'm replying to an older post here.  I'm waiting for a stable Gentoo
0.21 ebuild before I upgrade.  I was reading about playback profiles
here:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Playback_profiles

Currently on 0.20.2 (using the above patch) I'm using libmpeg2 (no
XvMC) and bob deinterlacing outputting at 1080i.  Once I upgrade I
have no reason I'm aware of of to use anything more complex in the way
of profiles.  If I create a profile group with a single playback
profile using a resolution "> 0 0", libmpeg2, xv-blit, and bob
deinterlacing, should it just work like my current configuration?
Some of the things I'm reading here, especially regarding performance
etc have me a little concerned.

Seth: I'd be especially interested in your setup, as I think it's much
like mine.

Also, would there be any advantage to using ffmpeg over libmpeg2?  For
example, does ffmpeg support closed captions?  That's one of the few
downsides of libmpeg2 I've run into.

Thanks in advance.
