Having used no other cards than the BVision I can't say it is that amazingly
much faster. But then I think the layers.library needs re-coding to
increase Workbench speed. If that was done in OS3.6 or whatever I'd upgrade
then :o)
Anyway for playing movies I've yet to see it running amazingly well with the
current players and mpeg-1 streams. Maybe I've just not got something set
right?! :-/ If you've not got your BVision by the summer your welcome to
come see my set-up with 250mhz PPC when I drag it home for the summer.

Hmmm, doubt full! Although the new AsynioPPC version of the library may
help a lot. I've got some DVD player source code here if you're willing to
give it a go at porting it. Its from a Linux player, so all in 'C'.
