[mythtvnz] Anyone successfully using CoreAVC for h264 decoding ?

[Graeme Woollett]

After I included the cp directshow came to life  :-)
TV3 is now watchable but large screen changes/movement are not fluid.

dhsowserver CPU usage varies a lot, between 90and 120%/40% idle for TV3 
with the "normal" playback profile

TV1&2 are around 70-80% with Piha rescue, this prog is not HD though

front end is crashing reasonably frequently with the following-

the aac_Latm error I guess is largely due to a fix in avformat.cpp that 
allowed it to compile cleanly

On TV1 and 2 with this build I don't have any sound, TV3 DVB-T and DVB-S 
are OK

The directshow build is less stable than others, I think I'll need to 
stick with DVB-S a little longer or the WAF will take a hammering...
