I should have mentioned (and neglected to), that the test file I am using
is a   captured .nuv from mythtv that I cp over to mythvideo as a mpg
file.  So I know that is not the issue (file format), and very wierdly,
what I am fairly certain is a divx file actually has decent output
(albeit, not full screen).

I may wind up upgrading mobo/cpu at some other point, but would like to
avoid doing that.

Thanks,
