definition), is running on an Intel D945GCLF2 Atom-330 based board with an

It's quite possible that an Atom machine can't play back some content without GPU assist. I would think MPEG2 DVD level bitrates would probably be OK, but you can't know unless you check while it's running. If the CPU is OK, how about the disk/network I/O? <br>
