Minimal hw config for h264 720p ? (was: [Mplayer-users]playing HD video)

[Henry Garcia]

Dual Pentium III 850, 512MB RAM, SuperMicro P6DBE rev 3.1 motherboard.

mplayer -vo xv -ao sdl -lavdopts threads=2 movie.avi

Doing about 40-50% CPU load. Sometimes 25%. Plays smooth. Using Latest CVS
version. h264 files encoded with mencoder play about 20% faster than
QuickTime (under Windows) encoded 264 files.

Mplayer rocks.
