Marcel, I have (had) the same choppy video problems as you.
(and I think many people do) For Xine I have tried the -xshm
option, and while it did smooth things out, it also caused tearing for
me on moving objects. I then tried -xxmc instead. This has
been the best option I've found so far - video is quite smooth (though
I haven't compared it back-to-back yet with my standalone DVD
player). <br>
<br>
As far as MythTV goes, Bob deinterlacing is the only way I can
get good smooth video. XVMC will as well, but it's fairly
unstable for me. The only drawback to Bob is that it causes the
OSD to flicker a bit. I can live with that, however, though I
hope someday it might get fixed. :) <br>
