[ydl-gen] Video Monitors--2

[Warren Nagourney]

In response to the question about the video performance, I am afraid  
that even when one solves the monitor problem - obtains a sharp image  
on the monitor - one will still be left with unaccelerated video.  
People differ in their response to this - many don't find it that  
objectionable.  I do, unfortunately.

Moving windows around (particularly Firefox windows, for some reason)  
results in very very jerky motion with lots of artifacts like window  
outlines appearing momentarily. This is extremely displeasing to me -  
it is almost as bad as fuzzy video. The contrast between the PS3 and  
my powerbook on the adjacent table is shocking. My approach will be  
to use the powerbook as the front end using ssh or Xwindows and do  
Cell programing. The PS3 video for me will always be somewhat  
unpleasant (until they - or someone else - gives us video  
acceleration, a not very likely prospect).
