FWIW, I had been getting a lot of OTA recordings that showed
"jitters/pixelation" during playback. When I switched my profile from
VDPAU decode + VDPAU render to ffmpeg decode + VDPAU render, all the
issues went away. I don't think it's a problem with MythTV code, but a
problem with VDPAU's ability to cope with small errors in the stream due
to small signal issues.
