Not, when most video cards of that era had a built in hardware MPEG decoder for playing DVDs. Otherwise they couldn't have played DVDs and that would have been uncool. But the decoder is only good for the specific coding on a DVD and AFAIK not good for anything else. You might be able to play back a DVD saved to disk as either a disk image or as the video files. I'm not sure, I did it once but on a somewhat higher performance machine so it may have been handling it in software.

What video card for QS 733
I would like to be able to watch streaming TV shows from the network websites, but the videos are really choppy. I have a Quicksilver 733, OSX 10.4.11, 1.5 GB RAM and Southwestern Bell/Yahoo DSL. I wonder if a Radeon 9800 pro would be the answer as I really can't go for a new computer for about another year or so? Hopefully, sooner or later I can get all these video problems worked out and get on with other stuff.

Is it Flash video? My Dual 1.3 Quicksilver can barely play Flash video even with a Radeon 9800.

Re: What video card for QS 733
I use a Geforce Ti 128mb with my QS 933 and web video is still a little slow. Dvd's are nice, most QT is good but no matter what I do, my iPhone is still better at web video then my Mac. I've though of upgrading to a 9800 but dont know if its worth it.
