Hey guys,
Here are my results.  One note: I encountered the 1080i playback bug
that Marcin Kostur reported a few weeks back, wherein 1080i output plays
back normally (~30fps) from the start of the video, but slows down
considerably to 2fps if you choose a random point within the video.

This bug documented here:
http://bugs.cinelerra.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348

However, this bug has not been resolved, other than in the fix that
Marcin found:
https://init.linpro.no/pipermail/skolelinux.no/cinelerra/2006-November/008696.html

Could any of the programmers update Bug 348 to let us know if this fix
is sufficient?

thanks,
scott

PS - here are my results of the playback:

System:
Cinelerra CVS, SVN r947
Dell 400SC, 3.2Ghz, 800FSB, 2GB 400Mhz, Dual DDR, ECC 
250GB SATA system drive 
Nvidia GEForce 7600GS 8xAGP video card, 512MB memory
Project Format: 1080i preset
Driver: X11-OpenGL or X11-XV
Playback every frame/Decode frames async: unselected
Compositor: 75% spanned across two monitors
Playback FPS (from beginning of video): OpenGL: 30.15, XV: 29.4
Playback FPS (from 3 seconds into the video): OpenGL 2.21, XV: says
29.94, but that is not correct, as playback is slowed considerably 

When I playback the video, I get a bunch of these messages in the
terminal window in which I started cinelerra:

program_byte=5866ff8
