I am using an MX-440 for *HDTV* output (on my dev machine), which is a 
lot more demanding, with no real problems.  Can you try renicing (-10 or 
so) your X server, and -2 or so your mythfrontend?

How about your encoder settings?  If the bitrate is too high you'll 
consume a lot of CPU doing decoding, with not enough left for proper 
output.  Is your *system* fast enough?  Is the CPU pegged when doing 
playback?

Also try turning on Extra Audio Buffering.

OpenGL vsync is a lot more accurate than the old sleep/busywait method, 
but should be virtually identical to the old Experimental AV Sync 
option.  Get it working and your problems should be solved.
