No, not exactly...I just meant that encoding two to MPEG4 and 
decoding/watching one of them is within the realm of possibility with 
that hardware. Doing the same but with RTJpeg is definitely less 
strenuous (at full speed: 2.4GHz processor usage is at about 77%...I can 
clock it down to as low as 1.8GHz fixed and it is still okay...anything 
less and it can't quite keep up).

Cheers,
Jesse
