Well, I've seen small sporadic jumps in movies sometimes even with -vo xv.
So I'd still like to use the fastest possible :o) Of course then I stepped
back just to make sure the movie wasn't bad.

So could I just use syntax like; 

mplayer -vo vesa:vidix -nortc -fs -double foo.avi

and also replace vidix with xvidix in the above command?

Does an NVIDIA based card (Geforce), support use of vidix? I don't remember
vidix being an available codec when I compiled pre9 -

Thanks,
