720p video on G4?



Hello all,

First of all, sorry for my very bad english.

I'm trying to play a 1280x720 x264 video:

------------- Video info -------------
[mkv] Track ID 1: video (V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC), -vid 0
[mkv] Track ID 2: audio (A_AC3), -aid 0, -alang eng
[mkv] Will play video track 1.
Matroska file format detected.
VIDEO:  [avc1]  1280x720  24bpp  25.000 fps    0.0 kbps ( 0.0 kbyte/s)
open: No such file or directory

Selected audio codec: [a52] afm: liba52 (AC3-liba52)
---------------- End of video info -----------

and I get frame drops: audio are in normal speed but video is slow and delay.

This video could play in AMD Athlon 1500+ with 4+ years old, I think my G4 is powerfull that it.

I try other 1280x720 videos (on WMV) with no luck.

I try with VLC, Kaffeine, Dragonplayer and Mplayer: no luck with none.

I look for in Google for optimize but there are no responses.

In some sites they are people saying that they have success on Mac OS X, but in most sites they say that there aren't lock with h or x264.

Today I note that Marillat have a mplayer Altivec optimized player but drops too.

Anyone can play 720p videos on Powerbook G4 or similar?

Do you think that compiling mplayer is a good option? Need a specific library?
