Hi, you are wrong !
There is the free MPEG player from Xing Technology, that I have posted
2 weeks ago on a.b.p.misc newsgroup !

It displays a 320x240 video window from a MPEG bitstream in realtime
only by software decoding (30 frames/second on a fast 486 PC).

And this testplayer is free !

Get it from 
 130.231.240.17

 It is called MPEGXING.LZH  and is in pub/mpeg  

Best regards Stefan Hartmann.
