	So I discovered after experimenting and cranking up the debug level,
	and so on.

	Is that a "at the moment" (hasn't been implemented yet), a
	"can not be done" or a "it doesn't make sense" type of "can't"?

	Even playing a mpeg1/2 file I found that it was necessary to
	add "-vc ffmpeg12mc" to the command line and it worked nicely.

	Seems to have cut the cpu usage in half but that's was just
	a glance at xosinfo when I wasn't watching the movie ;)
