You did not mention what version of MythTV you are running. With V30 
(master) you can try the new AVSYNC2 in the playback advanced settings. 
Also run with -v playback and see if it is dropping frames or waiting 
for video buffers. Those messages will tell where the problem is. 
Waiting for video buffers means a decoding problem, dropping frames 
means a rendering problem.
