Is the vid card the only place for a decoder to go? If memory serves, the decoder on my iMac (graphite 400 mHz DV SE) is directly on the DVD drive. I have an external CD writer lying around I intend to use for the time being, but would eventually like to get up to at least a combo drive.

Question:

You have basically the same hardware as I do in my B&W. If you watch a DVD, what the the CPU usage? I was playing with it last night and noticed that double size windows (command-2) hit 100% on CPU usage (G3 450). The
7K is listed as having DVD decoding abilities, but doesn't seem to be
doing much of anything on my machine.
