Are MPEG2 decoder boards still available anywhere?

Smooth DVD playback in the PC world (in my experience) requires at least a Pentium II 350-400MHz, and a graphics card with some sort of hardware acceleration.

So the good old '060 will definitely struggle...

Even MPEG-1 VideoCD-style playback (352x288 MPEG1 video stream with MP2 audio at 44.1KHz/192kbps) is unrealistic for 680x0 Amigas. Again, in the PC world, this required something in the region of a 120MHz Pentium).
