What might "packed video" and "planar" formats be?  I did a bit of
google-ing and really didn't find much beyond a pantent which
interestingly was for Intel :)

While I'm exposing myself as an idiot, if I'm interested in displaying
recordings from MythTV on an HDTV (preferably through DVI, HDMI or
Component if available), am I interested in textured video or video
overlay?  The only discussion I could quickly find on that was from
Keith a while back that seems probably above my level of current
understanding:

(Which also seems to suggest the 965 doesn't have an overlay, which
leads me to wonder if th G35 does...)

Thanks for all the responses to my relatively stupid question(s).
