what OS are you using?  

PAL DV is possible on any recent G4 Mac 800Mhz or faster.  there are no known
issues using video of any resolution on OSX.  anything quicktime player plays
GEM will play with the exception of MPEG-1 (there is a bug in the QT API).  In
fact I have been using _full_ HD 1920x1080 on my 1ghz tiBook and it plays at
20fps.  The best codec for such resolutions is photo-jpeg using the 'high' (NOT
best) setting to compress.  If you just want DV then the standard Apple DV codec
works best and uses Altivec and multiple CPUs to decompress.
