Also, watching HD content on my Mac Mini suddenly became a chore.  Some settings would work to get 1080i back up on it's feet, but 720p from ABC seemed to be very jumpy/jerky no matter what I did.  Crashes at least once/day (WAF is going VERY down at this point).  Exiting a show would take up to three seconds.

There are several assembler-optimized routines in the ffmpeg code that Myth uses.  *I* think that made a huge difference to the on screen display responsiveness but maybe I had some other config problem between the two builds.

Craig,
First time trying to navigate the git site, without much success.  Can
you post a link/path to your recommended version of osx-packager.pl?
Also, on a clean install of 10.6.5, are there any libraries that need
to be installed/upgraded first?
Thanks!
Steve
