I'm using the nv unacelarated driver, and have some success with:
mplayer -fs -vo xvidix nvidia_vid "$@"
It's not too quick, but it's a heck of a lot quicker than default :)
I have a feeling that I read somwhwere in the mplayer docs that the
above is the only thing that works on nvidia, even with the closed
source driver. I could be wrong...
