I do not think there was graphical acceleration for videos back then. It is probably doing well from the SSE2 instructions that Intel's marketing made certain the video player was using for decode. If it were not for that, the Pentium 4 would not have done as well.

The card used in the P4 was a Geforce 2 GTS, which did have mpeg acceleration. The onboard graphics of the P3 accelerated certain primitives, like motion compensation, but not to the degree of the P4.
