I think both the iMac and the MacBook use Radeon GPUs. All the
Radeons have good MPEG2 acceleration capabilities, so they should be
allright.
Also, the G4 Mini has a Radeon. With iDCT offload it might be fast
enough to do HD. (I've got one of those too, so I'm hoping it will be
fast enough.)

Yeah, hopefully. The marketing info for the chip says "High
Definition Content Decode - up to two stream support". PiP with
hardware decoding of two streams would be nice..
