I'm using the bundled DVD player for DVDs... When I watch a video in Quicktime, everything is beautiful. But, anything that would require the full screen is slow and blurry. From a distance, it would look fine. Considering Macs are...

On my new powerbook g4 15" 1.67; the video quality is extremely crappy. Whether it's a DVD or the cinematics for "Risk" (lol), the video is just blurry and slow. Is this a known problem, or is there something wrong...

Yeah, I would like to know this as well. I'm close to buying the 12 or 15 inch, but don't want to drop down $2000 now and find out I could've had a G5 or dual-G4 for the same price.
