If I had a pvr350, or one of a handful of decoding cards, yes its
possible.  But I'm just using a standard matrox g450.  What I
really want is for Nvidia to release Linux drivers for the MX/FX cards
that activate its full mpeg2 decoding, don't know if there is a 
chance-in-hell of that happening tho.
