mythtv is packaged using libav, and has been for some time in Ubuntu:
Debian packages now exist:
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570611
You can test packages for unstable built a couple of weeks ago at:
http://www.wookware.org/software/repo/pool/main/m/mythtv/
which take the good bits from the ubuntu and deb-multimedia
Unless anyone can see anything horribly wrong these should probably just
be uploaded.
I did get a video hang after an hour or so on my laptop so there may be
issues. I know absolutely nothing about video codec libraries so it
would be good if someone who did looked at this stuff.
