[mythtvnz] MythTV 0.21 and VDPAU

[Guy Gibson]

Steven Im running a very similar system to you, same MB, same CPU 2G  
RAM but with a Nova500T card and a 9400GT card.

I've been running a similar profile to you as well, just using  
Temporal 1x and TV3 (1080i) has been good, only the occasional block  
or band of pixilation.  729p content (TV2 Touchwood last night)  would  
produce shuddering in rapidly panning shots (almost as if it was  
discarding frames as it couldn't keep up)  Im outputting to a plasma  
at 720p btw.
I've not had any crashes in the last  3 -4 days I am seeing the same  
pre buffering pause errors as you.

Haven't tried temporal 2x lately
