[mythtv-users] Xv and XvMC - what's the difference?

[Emlyn.Bolton at nokia.com]

Hi,

Could somebody enlighten me as to what Xv and XvMC are exactly, and whether my assumptions are accurate.

I assume that Xv provides some form of direct access to the screen but I'm unsure of the specifics.  

Thanks in advance!
