	Using Xv, interlaced output only outputs a single field.  I'm 
pretty sure that even on my SDTV setup (480i directly out VGA port) that's 
what it's doing.  If I play with -vo x11, it's much crisper.


It *outputs* interlaced... just that the data it puts out is crap.

8174 works great for me (using DVI). XvMC works on HD without  
stuttering like 7676 did. Uses about 25% CPU. No complaints here.  
Using FX5500.

I tried it as well, and I have the same problem. It's better with XvMC, 
but just barely. I get lots and lots of prebuffer pauses.

For now - I've moved back to the 7676 build (which works flawlessly on my
setup).
  

I think I'll be doing the same.

Would be nice to know if they've fixed interlaced Xv output, I don't
think this worked since release 6629 (over a year ago).

Funny - tried it and had TERRIBLE playback (Jittery playback). Not using
XVMC, just XV on a AMD64 with 5700.interested to see if anyone else
tried it?

For now - I've moved back to the 7676 build (which works flawlessly on my
