Glad you got it working, although I am thinking that you should be able 
to get perfect playback all the way up to 99% CPU usage.  If you only 
get watchable playback at 50% usage, and it falls apart at say, 60% and 
above, something is still not right with your setup.

You probably won't run into this unless you start to get interested in 
something like the timestretch option, or start to watch MPEG4 material, 
or just a higher bitrate of MPEG2 material.

But anyway, enjoy.
