How on earth does the same video look better on a Mac than Windows?!!

Because of the Mac display system. Where Windows uses DirectX or whatever, a Mac uses Apple designed software called Quartz, and this is far better for the OS and video etc. Everything always looks better on a Mac, to an extent. The OS is all about making everything look good. Of course the OS isnt then compatible with x86 programs, and that leads to the very boring incompatability arguement that i wont get into now... :rolleyes:

More info, cos i did a crap job of explaining:
