another thing he could try is to go back to starting MPlayer in administrator mode (open console, type "sux", enter password, type gmplayer.). It worked beautifully for me. (MPlayer 1.0pre3)

One thing I noticed was the drastic quality difference between using the XFree drivers and ATI's own drivers. With ATI's own drivers playback quality was on par with programmes like WinDVD. With the XFree drivers things looked rather pixelish and lacked detail.
