I received a reply from "RC" stating: "xvmc also needs -vc ffmpeg12mc"

I tried that advice with an mpeg4 video I had previously mencoded.  No 
joy.

I then Googled and found a note that said ffmpeg12mc only works with 
MPEG1 and MPEG2.  (Hence the name, I guess.)  I tried "-vo xvmc -vc 
ffmpeg12mc" with a DVD and it works fine, with about half the CPU usage 
of "-vo xv".

MPlayer rocks, and so does this list.

Many thanks.
