I don't just don't think my video card is the problem. Sorry for the long post of data.
'Also, you are running on a 50MHz bus, and you are running a G3 upgrade on that. It is just infeasable to expect similar performance to a similarly speeded but newer system...'
Did you read the other part of my post? It's not just your vidcard, its your whole setup. you are running a 400MHz chip on a 50MHz bus. This restricts the ability of your processor to send and retrieve data from the other systems on your board (memory, pci slots, etc) because all the data must flow on that 50MHz bus until it reaches your chip; compare that to the 167MHz bus of the MDD or the 800-1GHz range of the G5, that is a ton more bandwidth for data. In other words; your card may be capable of good video playback, but if you are trying to play a large HQ file, the slower system bus becomes a big factor as you pull the data off the disk, to memory; then getting sent to the chip for decoding, and is likely, IMHO, your biggest issue with your video playback.
