I just helped a friend make a video jukebox(freevo) running linux for his tv. We used direct framebuffer , with no X. It is playing movies perfectly(75% cpu load). Here is the cool part, it has only a 500mhz celeron and just 64mb of ram. It is not even using swap.

ahh they beauty of linux/unix, im on a windows 2k3 server, Athlon XP 3000+, 512mb of ram, and 180Gbish of storage

divxing a live video stream (a live anologus singnal to a DIVX format), i can just barely get 30FPS, (which is what TV runs at here(well 29.9fps), not the 25fps you NTSC people run at), and its bumpy and skippy, i have to put it down to about 25 or so fps to get it smooth and then i cant use this pc at the same time..
