   Hmm, maybe so.  Even at full screen the REC:V videos don't look   
   abnormally jagged to me (I can see more edges in RE4 actually).  I can   
   see more compression artifacts in the REC:V videos at 200% and higher   
   though, is that possibly what you're seeing?  It looks like large pixels   
   on most objects, but it shouldn't be visible at 100%.  I've tested them   
   on my 19inch VGA monitor and my wife's 15.5inch LCD laptop screen.

   Under Outrigger on the Dreamcast side, right above where you're finding   
   the RE stuff.
