Basically it allows for the graphics card to accelerate MPEG2 PS recordings just like DVD Player does (which I use rather than mythfrontend unfortunately). Not sure how useful it would be for Myth, given we have a complex OSD. On the positive, Accellent also uses ffmpeg. Check the forums (News and Announcements and Developer) on http://defyne.org/dvb for moreinfo.
There is also some excellent Apple written example code at developer.apple.com that explains line by line how to hand video frames to core video. Once they are there, you can do things like deinterlacing etc using hardware accelerated openGL. I also think the corevideo playback is opengl based. It is supposed to be really fast, I'm just not able to wrap my head around both the mythtv and Apple code.
Geoff(ps) I can find a direct link to the code if anyone is interested, I'm just being lazy at the moment.
