I have one HD clip of a tennis match.
It will not play in xine-hd on my SP13000 to my (old) monitor.
  The right side is all pink, and there is no sound.
I will be trying this with the new Dell 1920x1200 (not 1920x1080 as I 
previously posted).
The real question of course, is whether it can play more than 'clips' 
without choking.
Well, actually, the real question is whether I can figure out how to 
make a modeline work...a new jungle to hack at! (NO I have never touched 
a modeline before, beyond putting some into xorg.conf)
