I recently played the new "Star Trek" 2009 movie on my G4 iMac
1.25Ghz [gleaned from later in the OP].
Memory?
Internal HD speed and free space?
OS? Fully updated?
Video player?
In what format is the video? DVD? Some ripped file, etc?
and I wanted to know if I can somehow boost the video card. The
movie runs smoother than a freshly shaved face, but not when I run
several programs in the background. I am an expert on macs, but the
G4 iMac is a little new to me. Enlighten me with options, I am all
ears.
Can't upgrade the hardware. So you'd need to reduce the i/o, cpu,
and gpu load of playing the video. Or reduce the load of running
those other apps. Can't suggest more because you provided no details.
