While I agree with most of the responses, especially Bob Currier's
concerning your "luck" at getting full screen/full motion on your PC, I'd
also like to point out one other thing. When playing back full screen, your
bottleneck may be the video display architecture as opposed to the CPU. The
busses have to move an awful lot of data to play back full screen/full
motion video after its decoded (27 MB/s). We used to call it pixel rate.
I'd be curious to know if the same video plays on other PCs as well and
what video card you have.
