I believe you, Mark, but I must profess this is a little counter- intuitive. After all, the same PC will play much more demanding video (higher resolution, fancier codes, etc.) running Windows Media Player or Linux's Totem, so why can't the emulator handle it? Is there really that much overhead in the emulation process? The Wikipedia page on QEMU makes it sound like their method of emulating the ARM should be very efficient, even on Intel CPUs.
But as I said, it is only a -little- counter-intuitive: it only takes a little thought to see how much work might be going on in that emulation, even though the bulk of the MediaPlayer is native code.
