I have since established that my VDPAU setting was wrong. I have an
NVidia 8400 card and had the setting set to VDPAU high quality not VDPAU
normal.

from http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU .........

VDPAU Playback Profiles are automatically created in current versions.

VDPAU High Quality: use Temporal Spatial 2X (Advanced 2X) for all content. To be used with nvidia cards >= 8600GT, >= 9500GT, GT120 or >= GT220 
VDPAU Normal: use Temporal 2X for HD content, and Temporal Spatial 2X (Advanced 2X) for SD content. To be used with nvidia cards >= 8400, >= 9300, GT110 or >= GT210 
VDPAU Slim: use Bob 2X with skip chroma option, with One Field as fall back, to be used with nvidia cards >= 8200 or when VDPAU Normal doesn't work for some reasons.

So the picture is now fine but I still get the error in the logs.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

The following error appears in the mythfrontend.log.

The result is that the picture is out of sync very slightly with the sound and with a slight jerk (assumingly due to the discarded frame).

2010-05-24 19:34:19.826 [h264_vdpau @ 0x7f2de04a7360]number of reference frames exceeds max (probably corrupt input), discarding one

This only occurs for TV3 here in New Zealand. It is our only 1080i dvb-t channel. All others are either 720p or 576 and work fine.

Our broadcast mix here is H.264/MPEG-4 AVC.

I am using Mythbuntu 10.04 with a nova-t 500 tuner and an NVidia graphics card.

Please help :-)

Thanks!
