OpenGL isn't properly supported ; so none of the opengl deinterlacers worked
.
Never got OpenGL vsync to work so I always had slight tearing.

After spending so much time fiddling with it (upgraded the CPU to a 2.33GHz
one, more RAM, bluray player, bigger HD) I gave up.

Plus once you've tasted the VDPAU deinterlacers ; I won't try anything else
:)

I still believe it's the best frontend : it's the most quiet , non obtrusive
solution ...

I loved mine ... but was frustrated that my Sony TV always gave better
result when using the build-in DVB-T tuner

Most of the work is from the mythtv developers really (especially Mark
Kendall)
