D:\>mplayer -vo gl:yuv=1 somefile
VO: [gl] 640x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12

on a geforce3 win2k:
mplayer -vo gl:yuv=1 -nosound -benchmark -frames 500
BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.188s VO:   0.048s A:   0.000s Sys:   7.904s =    8.140s
BENCHMARK%: VC:  2.3096% VO:  0.5897% A:  0.0000% Sys: 97.1007% = 100.0000%

mplayer -vo directx -nosound -benchmark -frames 500
BENCHMARKs: VC:   0.047s VO:   0.595s A:   0.000s Sys:   8.015s =    8.657s
BENCHMARK%: VC:  0.5429% VO:  6.8731% A:  0.0000% Sys: 92.5840% = 100.0000%
