[mythtvnz] VDPAU package can be removed?

[Aaron Drysdale]

Thanks for the info. Knowing I can easily roll back (of sorts) gives me
confidence to give it a go.

And I'm not using VDPAU yet, and I do have OpenGL sync enabled, but
still having this problem with the video tearing. I do have the nVidia
185.18.4 beta driver installed. Perhaps I should try the released
(180.51?) driver first and see whether that solves the problem.

Regards
Aaron

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
