I read an article about a combined BR and HDDVD player and it stated
that the machine uses a BCM7412 chipset:

H264/VC1 up to 40 Mbps MPEG2 up to 125 Mbps
requires a main processor (with ethernet and PCI), so at least 2 big
chips are required for an network player.
This doesn't include YUV to RGB and a hardware scan converter. So, this
isn't an all in one solution to video.
And then there is an integrated SoC, which could make a 1-chip
network hd player:

This might be too integrated. What we need to do is to write the
decoded video to the frame buffer in RGB with variable resolution.
