It's not the resolution, but the and codec that causes video to playback poorly.

Four factors:
Quality of the codec implementation.
Data compression.
Video resolution.
Frame-rate.

IN my experience the codec implementation and the frame rate are the biggies.

As far as formats go, I've played high-bitrate MPEG4 and Divx just fine on a 800mhz G3, it's H.264 where it really struggles.

DivX and H.264  ***ARE***  MPEG-4.
