 From nvidia's web site, pertaining to the 4 MX:

Integrated high-definition Video Processing Engine delivers the highest 
quality DVD, video, and display output available in the market today.  
Integrated hardware MPEG2 decoder reduces CPU utilization for DVD 
playback to provide a longer viewing experience.

Read for yourself here: http://nvidia.com/page/pg_20020201403631.html

The 4 MX series also has hardware mpeg2 decoding. =]
(also not supported under Linux though)
