For PAL analog(ue) yes, but I don't know what they are doing with
digital over there.
I think I saw something on this list about the BBC experimenting with
MPEG-4 variants. That would take more CPU to decode and you can't get
any help from XvMC, which only helps with MPEG-2.
So you may ultimately want to get a faster CPU.
