Does mplayer say it's using the Xv output device?  Something
like this?

  VO: [xv] 512x384 => 512x384 Planar YV12 

Does mplayer play the MythTV recordings smoothly?

or in the playback.]

When you configure the MythTV front-end you can select a device
to use for playback (for example you can use the MPEG2 decoder
in a PVR-350).  If you left it at the default value it's
probably OK.
