[mythtv-users] Interlaced Mpeg 2 External Playback Issues

I've been happy with the upgrade from 0.21 -> 0.22 and the support of 
vdpau.  The last thing that I'm having trouble with is playing recorded 
programs outside of mythtv.  I use VLC to access a share on my mythtv 
box that has been populated by links from mythrename.  Files that were 
recorded before the update plays fine, both interlaced and progressive.  
Since the upgrade, I can only seem to playback newly recorded 
progressive recordings.  I record SD using a PVR250 and HD using a 
HDHR.  SD is from a dishnetwork receiver, HD from OTA.  VLC will start 
to play the files then it'll stutter after a second then it'll sound 
garbled and chipmunky (new word), then it'll eventually stop playing.  
This is the same for both SD and HD interlaced content.  If I play back 
progressive content (all hd)  it plays beautifully.  Again old pre 0.22 
recordings of all denominations play fine.    Additionally I've tried 
vlc under linux and windows, windows media player also behave similarly. 
Any ideas?  I've exhausted my knowledge on how recordings are made on 
mythtv.  Thanks
