If you want to pursue this, you'll probably want to use video acceleration via a full xserver & chipset driver, with changing the video output plugin in Xine to something other than software X11 that supports the acceleration.

Thanks for the guidance but I'd be stretching myself too far to attempt something like that at this stage and I do have upcoming time restraints.

jaygeedsl,
^thehatsrule^ is right. If you are using one of the XFree/Xorg extensions, Xine will default to the Xv video driver which uses hardware acceleration and performs very well. If you just boot DSL and then load Xine, it will use the Xshm driver which is much slower. Xine will on its own use xv when it can without having to specify it. Use the XFree or Xorg extensions and Xine will playback much faster. Just be sure to specify nv as your video card driver in your XFree/Xorg config file.
