I played the serenity trailer, which is 1280x544 H.264 video with AAC sound.

A typical MPlayer status line while playing the movie is

A: 108.9 V:  92.0 A-V: 16.960 ct:  3.132 766/766 121% 48%  8.7% 734 0

top shows 2-8% idle processor and the movie plays in slow-motion with
massive audio and video desync.  With QuickTime I have 10-20% idle
processor and absolutely fluent motion.
