...or if this is a real bug, how about creating a bugreport and potentially get it fixed in the internal player, rather than ignoring the problem and implement some ugly workaround which doesn't benefit anyone but yourself?</p>
<p>
Of course, if these "downloaded videos" are illegal downloads, you're on your own. If not, create a small sample of the video, upload it somewhere and link it from the ticket.</p>

Sorry if this sounds simplistic, but couldn't you also just modify your Main Menu to launch gmplayer or VLC and then go to where the video is if you have a wonky video? This way you wouldn't have to change your settings, but still be able to play (assuming it is some small average, like 1 out of 10) without having to log out of mythfrontend...</div>

Or, if your machine is fast enough for your videos, you can use an external player for mythvideo and not use vdpau for your settings ever. Wouldn't be good if you are often playing large h264 files, but for anything else you would be set.</div>
