Just remove my repository and use the standard ubuntu one.

remove mythtv, re-install

you won't loose any data and it will disable vdpau

You will have to manually modify your playback profile

If using VDPAU, makesure composite is disabled (it's in the VDPAU
FAQ).. If using something else, tick the OpenGL sync option
