[mythtv-users] MythTV compile problem w/ XvMC support

Well, it worked, but my preliminary experience is that it seems slower
than with it off. I get very choppy playback rates. I'm using a Geforce
4 Ti 4200, which doesn't have as much acceleration as the cheaper cards
even, but I was hoping for better. I am running off the TV ouput which
makes it heavily scaled, but even still. It has the most trouble with
ABC. 720 plus 60 fps is a pretty tough stream. It also happens to be the
best TV signal I get so it's what I do most of my testing with. The 480p
fox widescreen broadcasts seem to work a lot better, though not perfect.
I'm going to do some comparisons between the two, maybe even buy a
geforce 4mx and see if that gets it over the hump. If not looks like I
need a new CPU.
