[drgonzo2k2] "In our archive system we are storing videos as MPEG2 @ 50 Mbit/sec.... it seems even the most powerful systems we have (Dual Dual-Core Xeon Machines, 2 Gigs RAM, SAS Hard Drives) choke almost instantly on these files."

Yup, they sure do! Your drives can't keep up with the sustained bitrate of such files. You can solve that problem by putting your files on a RAID, so you have MULTIPLE drives playing out the same file.

All I can do is point you in the right direction. Unfortunately, I'm no good at suggesting the proper hardware, especially for Windows boxes.
