Exact same experience with my 8400GS and 180.22, except that so far I
prefer Xv software bob to VDPAU's, contrary to your and Jean-Yves'
accounts. The former offers, as has been my experience for the past
three years, rock-solid video during pans; the latter often tears
and/or leaves ghost images. I wonder what I'm overlooking?
