I too would have thought this problem was related to limited CPU power. X86 PCs benefit from GPU assisted decoding, but Amiga related systems do all video encoding/decoding with the CPU alone.

Hmmm I doubt a Trident video card with a mere 16MB of RAM had alot of acceleration going on. :)

Even the Gamebube (G3) @ 487MHz could do it. ;-)

No, I don't remember Trident video cards offering video encoding/decoding acceleration either. But who uses these cards anymore?

I think the oldest common cards are probably the Voodoo3s (unless you count legacy Amiga RTG cards).

What's your point?
