To use ffmpeg as your decoder for all content less than 720x*, insert
a row in settings with value = 'UseXvMCForHDOnly' and data = '1' with
the SQL command:

INSERT INTO settings SET value='UseXvMCForHDOnly',data='1',hostname='yourhost';

for your frontend and have your PreferredMPEG2Decoder set to Standard XvMC.
