Im running mythtv svn 19974 with the latest nvidia driver 180.29. Mythtv
deals with normal digital cable tv, this is only sd content. I also play
dvd's and for 1080 testing, several hd trailers e.g. "I am legend" MPEG4
AVC/H.264 with 1920x816. 

Link: h**p://www.hdtv-praxis.de/downloads/IamLegend.zip

Everything with no problem. If i had more time i would rip a blueray to
play it with MythTv, till then hd trailers must be enough.
