MPlayer is about as efficient as you're going to get it, out of the  
box. There's not a whole lot you can add on, especially when we're  
talking about H.264. Just as a note, and as a fellow OS X user (iBook  
G4 1.07 GHz), you're probably not going to get much better than 480p  
at real-time, *maybe* 720i or 720p at a slower-than-realtime frame  
rate. That's assuming you're looking for those high-def trailers from  
Apple.

Yeah, this is good advice. I managed to royally screw up more than a  
few things when I messed with things I didn't understand.
