Totem + mplayer gave a green corrupted frame, then insta-death. Internal 
just died and killed the Frontend (I've never, actually seen that happen 
before) Ubuntu 8.04 + updates + Mythbuntu 0.21-fixes packages.

*Note: I'm getting really annoyed with Ubuntu right about.... now, if 
this was Gentoo I'd slap in the multimedia overlay*

Makes me think it's the same type of h264 as the HD-PVR pumps out, which 
seems to be using 'something'; that something ain't quite as well 
supported/optimized as the common garden variety found in my Anime 
shows.  So it seems to require an excessive amount of grunt, which will 
obviously change. :)


Finger the the air requirement, 2.8Ghz C2D in the Desktop flavor.
