The problem of not being able to use xvmc reoccured again as I was 
trying out various profile settings in a new playback profile that I had 
created. Again removing all the playback profile groups - in effect 
resetting them - again allowed xvmc to be used. Has anyone else had this 
experience? Could this be a bug in the profile code?

Thanks

John
