does anyone know, how does Sam440 play hd videos or 720p ones? i don't know it exactly, but altivec is a big addon on our g4 cpus. afair, the altivec can make some operations upto 10 times faster, than just the cpu without altivec... isn't there a possibility of improving the altivec support inside the mplayer for these high resolution videos?

i just don't like the way, when sth doesn't work, buy a stronger machine... i like optimizing, and smart usage of the cpu abilities...

remember what could Amiga do in it's times? :)
