Your CPU seems a little slow to do a good job playing HDTV unless you
use XvMC.  XvMC has been rather touchy for me (from 0.17, and through
fairly recent SVNs) and I find myth to be much more stable with
XvMC turned off.  Since I have a 3Ghz P4, I have the option
of turning it off -- you wouldn't.

It is not a problem with the more recent Nvidia binary drivers.
