@BoingBoss,

It depends... Obv playing MPEG files is quite graphically intensive work, and your 2500 isn't AGA (which as I'm sure you can guess means less than 256 colour playback), but if you've got a graphics card installed then you might try RiVA or MPEGA etc.

I don't know anything about the GVP and very little about the Picasso II.

All I can suggest to do is to try the Aminet for documentation on supported boards, but I think RiVA supports CGX and/or P96 under CGX emulation.  

The best you can expect is 3-5fps playback and patchy sound playback on an '040.  My comatose A1200 runs a 40Mhz '040 and the MPEG quality isn't encouraging.
