I found a clue: "The RAGE Mobility 128 provides remarkable multimedia functionality, all in true 32-bit color, and incorporates an integrated MPEG-2/DVD decoder with iDCT and motion compensation, which enables full frame rate DVD playback combined with very low CPU utilization." <http://www.active-hardware.com/english/archives/arc8-2000.html> It seems this is the actual video card in several of the early Powerbook G4s and iBooks if judging of the specs at Everymac: <http://everymac.com/systems/by_casetype/portable.html> So the early Titanium models, the 400 and 500 at least, have hardware acceleration builtin. I still would like to know what triggers the hardware decoding, but I suppose I have to ask on a programmers list or something. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
