If you're playing VDPAU-capable content, it's all going to be 
compressed.  You will only consume a couple MBps of bandwidth during 
playback.  If you're playing something else, it will be transferred at 
full resolution and framerate (of the video).  Standard definition 
should be fine. 720p may cause problems.  1080i/p is right out.

If all your content is from IVTV cards, why not just get an older AGP 
card and use software playback?
