This is where the 1400's bus speed is going to run your day (not to mention the slow graphics subsystem). I only got decent playback on my 1400 of VCDs once I drove it up with a G3/333, and wrote my own VCD player that basically soaks up all the CPU time. Before that, it stuttered quite a bit, and was quite unusable if it was magnified or scaled up any. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
