We're discussing how to set/interpret the frame rate related fields in
the H.264 bitstream.  This is unrelated to how a player deals with
being too slow to actually display frames at the correct rate.

BTW, are you talking about HD streams?  Normal resolution H.264
streams should play perfectly fine on anything faster than a 1.5GHz
P4 without any need for hardware acceleration.
