That's absolutely fantastic news John.

The xv/xvmc driver support takes the burden *off* the CPU and uses the video card/GPU to do the hard work The PVR-350 driver currently does not have xv support and as such cannot do the accelerated resizing/colour space transformations and other 'stuff' that is needed to be able to play back the other video types (typically having sizes that do not match that of the 350 framebuffer) at full speed with no jumping/dropping of frames.
