+<p>
+There are a few ways to speed up playback of 1080 H264 files on your pc.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+First is to use the newly added <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU">VDPAU</a>
+output. It allows the newer
+<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#Supported_Cards">NVidia video cards</a>
+to decode the video without using much CPU. It is in SVN MPlayer, you can
+find known bugs and report bugs
+<a href="http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s&forumid=14">HERE</a>.
+<b>(Linux only)</b>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Second is to use MPlayer with the <b>experimental</b> multithreaded
+<a href="http://gitorious.org/projects/ffmpeg/repos/ffmpeg-mt">FFmpeg-mt</a>
+branch, which allows you to use multiple cores/CPU. <b>(all OS and CPU supported)</b>
+
+A Windows build of MPlayer using FFmpeg-mt can be found at
+<a href="http://kovensky.project357.com">http://kovensky.project357.com</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Third is to use the multithreaded <a href="http://www.coreavc.com/">CoreAVC</a>
+codec with the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/coreavc-for-linux/">CoreAVC-for-linux</a>
+project. The CoreAVC decoder costs $15 USD. <b>(Linux (and Windows with this
+<a href="http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/patches/99_coreavc.diff">PATCH</a>))</b>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<a href="http://www.ffmpeg.org">FFmpeg</a> has also added some optimizations from the
+<a href="http://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html">X264</a> project.
+To fully utilize these you will need to make sure a recent YASM is installed
+and detected by the latest SVN MPlayer when compiling.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There is also a rejected
+<a href="http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2009-January/059868.html">PATCH</a>
+which adds support for the new multithreaded binary VC1/WMV3 codec.
