**Disclaimer: Decode only. Uncompressed YUV frames are discarded before being sent to the renderer.
Sure my Athlon X2 3800+ can't actually play the file without dropping frames like crazy and getting out of sync, but there is a lot of room for performance gain in between decode and present currently.

Rudd has also joined xbmc permanently, so don't expect this project to die.I'm just saying, I thought it was clear that he was busy with other stuff at the moment. If there was progress worth mentioning I'm sure he'd mention it.
