Sort of moving away from the topic ... but something to be aware of in Leopard:

My dual 1GHz gets stuck with a gray screen, using my ATI Radeon 9800Pro, when trying to startup into 9.2.2. I did read that the ATI Radeon is supported in OS X ... any fixes required for OS 9.2.2 installed before the Radeon was installed? > > By the way, what's this Deinterlacing thing? Here is what Leopard DVD Player Help has to say (apologies for reproducing it here ... it seems to be Leopard specific, and people may not have access to it unless they're running Leopard ... maybe on Apple's site?): ***** Using deinterlacing DVD players typically convert interlaced video (a sequence of fields) into a non-interlaced sequence of frames. This process, called deinterlacing, usually produces better picture quality. This is especially true for television shows, which are often interlaced when put on DVD. WIth DVD Player, you can choose to enable or disable deinterlacing, as well as select the viewing quality of the deinterlaced picture. To use deinterlacing: While the DVD is inserted, choose View > Deinterlacing and choose to enable or disable it. If you enable deinterlacing, choose a picture quality: Optimal Quality: DVD Player automatically selects the best setting. DVD Player indicates which setting it chose by placing a diamond symbol next to the setting. Good Quality: An acceptable quality that does not impact other processes running on your computer. Better Quality: The highest quality, which can cause other processes on your computer to run more slowly. If your computer doesn't support this level of quality, the option is dimmed. ***** In Leopard ... My User cpu usage goes from 80-90% (Deinterlacing Off) up to 150% (dual 1GHz) when using Deinterlacing. System usage curiously goes down. Other processes become choppy (Dock, Mouse usage, etc). I noticed a small change in quality when replaying a B&W TV Show DVD of a Bill Evans Trio performance.
