One (of the many) problems reported in the previous post were the EPG 
not working and truncated / incomplete recordings which are fixed by 
Matthias' X driver and Chris ivtv patches respectively. 

As far as DVD playback, if you haven't already, you can try one of the 
Mplayer patches (search the archive for the mpegpes patch or the 
ivtv:/dev/video16 patch).

When you talk about MythVideo are you referring to playing Divx or Mpeg4 
files being choppy?  If so, there's no fix for that (yet) but once Kevin 
rolls up these patches (and the VBI patches) into ivtv 1.10 (which he's 
close to doing according to the talk on the ivtv-devel list), I'm sure 
they'll start working on other issues.  One of the goals is to get YUV 
support working which will solve MythGame and MythVideo performance 
problems, but probably won't get solved until ivtv 2.x which is months 
away....
