A friend of mine has a Matrox G400-Max and that baby accelerates DVD pretty well, plus the dualhead TV output is better than any of the Creative cards that I've seen. I don't think they make them any more, but Matrox has several other cards out that will provide similar capabilities (G550). The GeForce cards have acceleration too, but on one system I was setting up, enabling hardware acceleration in PowerDVD did speed things up, but also made the video much blurrier. Too blurry in my opinion...
