Everything is either stock or from ATrpms, aside from the Unichrome
packages 
from Terry Barnaby and a custom compile of Myth. Essentially, exactly
the 
same procedure as detailed in the mythtv.info UpgradeToCvs page, just
with 
slightly different options in settings.pro for Unichrome XvMC support.
I'm 
working on trying to build rpms, but running into some issues I'm still 
sorting through...

Its actually quite painless to set up, the output quality is excellent,
and 
I've had zero stability issues after like 10 shows viewed with it. I
have yet 
to get around to trying dvd rip playback, but plan to over the break.
