As mentioned earlier, the ffmpeg used by mythtv 0.21 is rather old ;
and h264 support isn't that great.
xine (which isn't entirely based on ffmpeg) and mplayer uses a more
updated version.

Now mind you, ffmpeg currently used in trunk isn't that much better. I
found that none of the h264 video that didn't play in 0.21 played
properly with mythtv 0.22/trunk.
The result is different ; while in 0.21 I would either get an error or
a blank screen ; with mythtv trunk I would get a stuttering video and
often the sound was bad too.
For those videos I use mplayer.
