Just wondering...
In some DVD programs for the computer, you have the option for "hardware acceleration". What is this exactly?
Should I be using it? I have a Matrox G400 with a Pioneer 16X DVD. Thanks in advance,

Just makes is so the gfx card can handle some of the work involved in playing a dvd (as opposed to the cpu doing it all). If you have the option and it doesnt cause any problems (i.e video corruption) then enable it.
