Yes.... well I've got a Geforce2MX..  I'd be surprised if the tnt2 couldn't do
Xv, but i've no experience with a tnt2 myself.

See how there are two xv adapters below... i think the tv out only supports the
blitter on my card, but that is all it needs to play movies on my machine,
using Xv top reports mplayer using 0.1% CPU.  Maybe on the TNT2 the tv-out
doesn't support xv ?  There's no mention in the NVIDIA driver documents that Xv
is not supported on the TNTs...

Using the Xv driver i can run movies full screen on tvout and they fill the TV
screen pretty good, there is a little strip down each side that is unused, i'm
gonna try using xvidtune to get rid of that.
