MythTv 0.21 with fixes from Jean-Yves + PVR-500 + VDPAU => frame corruption.

Hi,

I have MythTV 0.21+fixes running on Ubuntu 8.10 (32bit) using VDPAU 180.41
with PVR-500.
The hardware is a Intel Pentium DualCore 2.6GHz E5300, 1GB Ram, GeForce 9500
GT.

Wathing LiveTv or recorded material results in corrupted video frames.
The effect is that some part of the video frame is put at the wrong position
and
some part is not being updated.

Is this configuration supposed to work?
What can I try to get rid of the corrupted video frames?
What information do I have to provide to find the problem?

I tried updating the PVR-500 firmware and using the ivtv options
enc_mpg_buffers=16 and enc_vbi_buffers=8.

Kind regards.

I discovered that the problem might be a synchronization problem. The
corrupted video frames appear mostly when subtitles are present. In between
the subtitles, the corruption is less.

Thanks for any help.
