I was basing my comment on the following:

"The ATI display drivers for Linux do not support XvMC. Despite the fact
that all Radeon hardware has support for MPEG-2 acceleration, ATI has
never provided access to these capabilities in Linux."

If it does improve anything I'd guess it's because of something totally
unsupported.
