Yeah, Ive figd it out, since Im using Axels RPMs for myth, it looks like 
XvMC isnt built into those RPMs, at least from looking at the 
settings.pro from the mythtv-0.16-82.rhfc2.at.src.rpm XvMC is commented 
out, so Im gonna get to compile MythTV from CVS this weekend woo hoo.  
Shouldve looked there before I posted, hope this may help some other 
poor soul.
