I think what this means is that it supports Xv to 1024x1024 but doesn't
implement XvMC as yet.

My CN400 based Epia SP13000 I've given up on XvMC - the 1.3GHz CPU jut
about handles all I throw at it without the extra hardware support and it
avoids a lot of 'blue face' issues with some divx/mpeg4 files. It can even
play a xvid 720p file in native mode on my 1368x720 TV.
