vdpau - frame jitters after recent upgrade

Hello,

I've been happily running mythtv 0.22 with vdpau and an HD-PVR and watching
HD content with no issues. Recently I started experiencing frame jitters in
some HD recordings which has made HD unwatchable. I see tons of the
following errors in the mythfrontend log:

[h264_vdpau @ 0x13146e0]number of reference frames exceeds max (probably
corrupt input), discarding one

and also tons of:

2010-03-06 21:50:18.848 [h264_vdpau @ 0x13146e0]mmco: unref short failure
2010-03-06 21:50:18.848 [h264_vdpau @ 0x13146e0]illegal short term buffer
state detected

If I exit the video and then go back in the video will be ok for a couple
minutes and then encounter another error and then the problem will start
again until I exit.

Did something in a recent upgrade occur to make this happen?

Im running mythbuntu with the version = 0.22.0+fixes23604

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Nik-

Some changes did go in related to the h264 decoder but they shouldn't
have caused those type of errors. If possible, please try a previous
version on the problematic recordings to see if the messages go away.
Also you can try another player and see if the they play correctly. If
you still believe it's related to a recent change then create a ticket
and attach a sample. You can upload to filebin.ca for files up to
50MB. The following command will output the first 50MB of the video:

dd if=input.mpg of=sampe.mpg bs=1024 count=50000

Regards.
