Re: Mpeg video player

Xine works alot better than OMS anyway. Still not good enough to watch a 
movie on my TiBook-400Mhz, but I guess it will improve over time.

I'm new to the "power-pc scene", so this might sound stupid. There seems 
to be different kernel's around (benh, bitkeper, etc), will one of these 
give better performance on my powerbook-G4?
