It's very straightforward: 1. Ensure MythTV is compiled with XvMC support. I use Gentoo so this is under my control. If you install from an RPM, verify this. 2. Select "use XvMC hardware decoder" in the Mythfrontend configuration. That said, it's a good idea to make sure you select a video card that's known to work with MythTV and the nVidia driver. I can testify that my FX 5200 does work. A recent thread on this list suggests that hardware decoding does not work with the 6200 card, and I suspect that the nVidia driver is the culprit.
