You didn't say USB2, asswipe. Squirm!

Playing back isn't the problem streaming it in would be, so all you
are doing is writing a file, then playing it back later.

There is a difference between some network test benchmark's burst
data rate, and a sustained stream. Then, it has to be decoded so
there is a lot of CPU overhead as well. Lately GPUs have been doing
more, but it is still not the HD you think it is.
