Rich–
The only way to get full screen 30 fps video on a PC (or Mac) today is to use
an Intel ActionMedia II board (or the NuVideo DVI board for a Mac) or a Motion
JPEG board like the Videologic Mediaspace.
Hardware compression/decompression coprocessors are needed to move so many
pixels so fast. With the AMII, the full screen image is still not *really*
full screen–it's blown up from a quarter-screen image.
All of the software-only playback solutions (QuickTime, VFW, etc.) use smaller
image sizes and/or lower frame rates.
