The video played back fine, but it seemed a bit sluggish in fast moving scenes and after jumps forward. I don't see any evidence that GPU acceleration is being used. (I didn't see any evidence that it wasn't being used either.)<br>

My goal is to get VDPAU working on it in the next few days.<br>

</div></div>Wait doesn't the "Quartz" acceleration option automatically use OS X's built in GPU acceleration? The latest Leopard I thought integrated that functionality right into the video API.<br>
