Nice job, Lonnie.  This is very well laid out.  I struggled through this
on my own with very little information... and still was a bit fuzzy on
what was important and what I had done over and above what I needed to. 
This didn't leave me feeling very good about Video playong on Linux...  I
must say, your observation of minimum HW is accurate.  I have had quite a
few headaches with poor quality on my 450.  One additional area you might
hit on could be whether it helps to have the HW Decoder and how to use it,
if any way exists.  I believe all the libdvdcss stuff takes the place of
the decoder card, but of course at a large cost.  OTOH, I had DVD's
playing well on my ThinkPad 770Z, back when I actually HAD a decent
laptop.  I believe it had the decoder built-in, so it ran fine on a 366. 
Of course, That was before I used Linux like I do, and before the Xine and
mplayer projects were quite so good... and before your succinct SxS.
