I would suggest googling or looking it up on Wikipedia, as my explanation will be limited, and maybe incorrect. As I understand it, dvds made from older tv shows needed "Deinterlacing" to make them run smoothly. Maybe other types of dvds also. It is a decoding task that eats up cpu. Under Panther, DVD Player allowed selecting or deselecting it. It would take up to 90% of my Dual 1Ghz QS 2002 when selected, and cpu dropped to 45% when not selected. In your applications, I don't know if it is a factor. The poster asked "what was taking up so much cpu" if I remember correctly ... and I thought of this as a possible culprit.
