For 16-bit or better shows at 800 X 600 ppi I've made the minimum
requirement a 266 Mhz box. Video can have a lot of flavors on NT so make
sure your user has the properly installed codecs for Windose Media Player. I
always embed video in separate Director files, as I've had after images when
the show has moved to another frame. This has solved that problem.
