The answer is simple. The margi dvdplay.exe doesn't need that much memory. The whole dvd play with the margi works with kernel streams that connect 'pins' together. The app says 'play' and a whole orgestra of kernel thingies start to push a lot of bytes into the margi which does the HW decoding and streaming it back via Zoomed Video into the graphical card memory without the processor intervening. The only issue with the margi is: how do I get the DVD stream with a sustained of 5Mbytes/s into the margi. Don't need much RAM for this, only speed. It works also under linux 2.6 but the X application needs to be enhanced a bit more but menus, display etc work. Avi.
