<div>Hmmm. Seems strange. Is the 5200 a 4x AGP card? I've got the 5500 and I'm running</div>

<div>I'm not sure if this changed since the 0.18 release (since I'm running</div>

<div>Certainly not good that XvMC segfaults, but I'd do your troubleshooting</div>

<div>Here are my Settings->TV Settings->Playback settings:</div>

<div>Deinterlace Playback is on using Bob</div>
<div>Use libmpeg2 for decoding is checked</div>
<div>Enable realtime priority threads is checked</div>
