The best I can suggest is to look at mplayer. I believe it can be compiled to support one of these. The last time I looked at the driver for the hollywood + it required a slightly older kernel, although I think that may have changed. While they are not perfect, you can pick up refurbished ati 7000 cards with an s-video output for like $25. (newegg occasionally) I haven't tested them with myth and tv out yet, but they should work, and that is a real video card so it is apt to be much less buggy than attempting to get an old dvd decoder card to do the job. -Robert
