Post subject:  XvMC Trouble (Unable to initialize video) nvidia 7174 R5A26
I have a Geforce 2 that I cant get xvmc to work with. When I select xvmc and try to watch tv or recorded videos I get "Unable to Initialize Video". I am running under the Nvidia driver 7174 (tried 6629 also). I get the Nvidia screen when X comes up. Video plays fine using libmpeg2.

The Nvidia driver is running:

root@mythtv:~# lsmod | grep nv
nvidia 3916572 22
agpgart 30416 2 nvidia,amd_k7_agp


I've just bought a HDTV and I've stopped using the PVR-350 decode, so naturally I need xvmc.

I'm not sure where to go from here. Help

(app-p) APPENDIX P: XVMC SUPPORT
__________________________________________________________________________

This release includes support for the X-Video Motion Compensation (XvMC)
version 1.0 API on GeForce4, GeForce FX and newer products. There is a static
library "libXvMCNVIDIA.a" and a dynamic one "libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so"
which is suitable for dlopening. GeForce4 MX, GeForce FX and newer
products support both XvMC's "IDCT" and "motion-compensation" levels of
acceleration. GeForce4 Ti products only support the motion-compensation
level. AI44 and IA44 subpictures are supported. 4:2:0 Surfaces up to
2032x2032 are supported.

So it looks like you can't get there from here... :(
