- I played with the 16" on a 160, and it worked good, though, when I
- enlarged the Quicktime window it played *much* more slowly and
- only part of the movie was played. Anyone know why only part
- of the movie was played?
-
- Is the speed of the movie linked to the size of the monitor, or to the
- size of the window (will full-screen graphics in general be just as
- slow as the movie was at full screen, or slower than smaller scale
- graphics?).
