well, as none of 3dfx cards have dvd hardware acceleration - all the job does cpu. As i can see in your sig, you're on socket7 with 550mhz k6-2, this means there are no faster cpu available.
Maybe try VLC player? (http://www.videolan.org)

have you updated your MB BIOS yet?  also, how fast is the onboard video?  the SIS chipset is about as slow as they get with ANY video card installed.....   you could try a K6-3 processor if you can get one cheap enough!  other than that, I think a newer motherboard/CPU/RAM is in order.

i am use m598 v5 board, but in the forum sugest the version 6 bios use in the m598 v5, now my procesor run at 550mhz and 100mhz of fsb,  before runs at 510mhz and 95 mhz fsb, the voodoo card run more faster.. in the quake 2, before running into q2dm1 center map at 146fps, after the update the bios, the q2 into q2dm1 center map run at 186 fps. The Dvd playback is more soft, before the update, my pc give me only 15fps in the playback, now with the update show me more of 30fps , very very thanks!!! to all

p.d.: i am use the Power DVD 2.55, incredible image quality and performace

sweet,
The power of the google search engine......  30fps should be good enough for the human eye....  24 fps is where we start to see a flicker.  now if you could only do a little overclocking.......
