Well, I tried it in windows, and setting VMR9Fix to "1" (as a string) 
activates the 'VMR9Fix' property, so it should have done so here too.  
Anyhow, I have been able to reproduce your problem on the new sample I 
have (so the VMR9Fix stuff isn't relevant to the problem after all).  
However, if I dump the buffer out to disk and display it, it looks fine, 
which tells me that the output from CoreAVC is fine, and somehow myth is 
mangling it.  But so far, I can't figure out why or where.
