We had similar trouble getting DVD playback at full screen/full quality on a
750MHz machine a couple of years ago (bleeding edge). In fact, I still have
the AGI All-In-Wonder 128 PCI card we used if anyone's interested in it.
I think we've heard from some people who have done full-screen, full quality
capture and playback - with processors available that are three times as fast,
is a single-CPU unit enough these days? How much CPU do you need for
full-speed, full-screen video processing?
