Right now I use -cache 1048576 (this seems to be the maximum), but I have 4GB of RAM so I could really load almost any movie into it (my usage hardly goes beyond 500MB), but with -cache it doesn't seem to be possible. Or is it possible to increase the cache?

Just change the max in cfg-common.h, line 318 and recompile.
