It mainly depends on the material you are playing.
How it dad been created and in what format it was saved in.
Example, the Decameron.dat movie file plays smooth, full 32bit colordepth
even full screen on a 17" monitor. The videocard may help, mine is a matrox
G400 32MB dualhead disabled.
OTOH the Fifth-element.viv movie shows jerkyness, color patching at times
and the picture size is about 1/6 of the monitor screen's.
ps. if both movies played for an hour continously, they trip the cpu heat (60c)
alarm on the P5A mainboard. The hd lite is on almost constantly.
