Most S3 Savage chip have hw mpeg2 acceleration, so I guess they have at least 
hw MC maybe even hw IDCT. The windows dvd player like PowerDVD and WinDVD can 
use it. Especially on these very slow chips, like the Save MX-MV in my laptop 
it would give a good speed advantage. Anyways current savage driver does not 
support XvMC.
