Not true! This drive was run over by a car and the chip (containing the only copy of someones PHD thesis) was broken off. It was later soldered back on ad the data was successfully removed. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3417/4566207262_201cbabeaf_b.jpg

Astronaut isn't a fair comparison, I'm pretty sure that most of the people doing that aren't in it for the money, but that's just my two cents.

So, has anyone here tried using something like VLC or Mplayer to play h.264 and Xvid? Is playback smooth? Does it use Xv?

When I tried it 10 months ago, it wasn't smooth at all. Xvid was good, though.

Does the hypervisor restrict access to usb? Ie, will other devices such as an external hard drive and a tuner card work?

No, it doesn't. External USB drives should work fine, as should your tuner card if you have the driver
