I believe there is a patch out there that will up the number of XvMC
buffers when using VLD to 16. That should resolve the problem if you
are only using XvMC w/VLD. I haven't applied it yet because MythTV
should be using 16 buffers already whenever they are available, I
don't want to put in a fix for VLD that will break regular XvMC when
it is VLD is enabled at compile time.
