I have a Canon SX130IS and my SO has an A720. They both have the option to record video. The SX130 records 1280 X 720 @30fps in h.264 format and when it is uploaded to the Mac, it appears as a .mov file. Let's see, a spec sheet says "H.264 + Linear PCM (stereo)"
When I play the videos (from either camera) in Quicktime they're horribly choppy. The host machine is an MDD 1.25GHz single processor. Before I go delve into the software configuration, etc. Does playing this kind of video simply require more processing power than the MDD can provide? Would dual processors make any difference? I have a 1.33GHz dual processor card from a Xserve that I could install. Anybody playing videos from their Canon camera with acceptable performance on a G4?
