Dave Not sure if this helps, but I had similar problem which was related to using the kernel deinterlacer. By disabling the deinterlacer and using the custom filters entry for deinterlacing this solved all my problems. There was a bug which caused the deinterlacer to crash when it was not passed explicit prameters.
Have a look at the Myth install guide on how to enter custom video filters.
