Done some more experiments, so I'm auto-quoting :-)
Finally I decided to try xvidx (finally something that supports my
Mach64 !). Really impressive - even if there's a "bug" : dha
installation ignores --prefix configure option !
With the same movie, I get 34% (v) and 28% (A) CPU usage.
But xvidx seems not to support fullscreen (well, -fs disables window
title and borders, but doesen't resize image. So I have to do it
manually with -x and -y ... lucky enough the movie is 608x456 and fits
exactly in a 1024x768 sceen :-) ).

mplayer 0.60 was already very good, but cvs versions are MUCH better ...
Why is 0.60 still available for dl ?

BYtE,
 Diego.
