In windows, of course, the Xcard has to send Divx..etc.. to a transcoder engine that transcodes the divx to mpeg2.  This, of course, takes a big chunk out of your processor, so you couldn't do this with a 1ghz type machine.  Also the DVD playback is send through their provided DVD software, before it is sent out of the card, but that is probably just to strip the CESS info off of the stream.
