That depends.
You're using your custom application I suppose, rather than using a stand-alone media player (i.e. you're not using Windows Media Player, MPlayer, VLC, etc)
How's the frame-rate with those applications?

You mean it was in played like in slow motion? Or you experienced frame-skipping?

There's a huuuuuughe difference in the proccessing power needed to decode MPEG1 vs MPEG4 movies.

Insanely weird combination. Win2003 with a 333Mhz CPU & 256MB RAM??

Also you specified VERY FEW DETAILS.
What CPU you have? 333Mhz isn't enough. Is it a Pentium II? Pentium? Celeron (PII era)? AMD K6-II?

You have a *trident* vga card?? What chipset exactly? With such old PC, I can guess your GPU is the old PCI Trident 1MB, because that was Trident's most popular video card in the 90's.
What's the Trident's specs?

RAM? You have 256MB... is it PC66, PC100, PC133? DDR1?

I believe your motherboard has a 66Mhz FSB due to the CPU's 333Mhz.

About the movie, what container are you using? AVI? MP4? Custom?

Oh! One more thing, I had a PII 350Mhz, 128 MB RAM (PC100), GPU SiS 620 8MB AGP.
That System was able to reproduce low-quality (low resolution or low-profile-compression) MPEG4 videos. That's all.
By low resolution I mean anything less than 640x480.
In it's time I did everything I could to improve playback performance without success.
If your PC isn't above the one I'm mentioning, you're wasting your time.

You can try movie playback from Linux. Linux has the fastest video players in existance (and they even include hacks and lots of config options).
If you can't get a smooth playback in that OS either, the system isn't just up to it.

As for XviD library, avoid any colour space conversion and use the one that XviD natively sends you (that is, if your video card supports that colour space natively also)

Cheers
