Either MPEG-1, or MPEG-4.

libmpeg2 should be much faster than ffmpeg, so why are you forcing
mplayer to use the latter?

Those -lavdopts are useless except for h.264, which your system has
no chance of playing anyhow.

Look through the recomendations in the HTML docs on efficient encoding,
allowing you to lower your bitrate accordingly.  Your dimentions in
particular should be multiples of 16.

Then look through the HTML docs for tips for faster playback, things
like MTRRs and different vos.

Nope.  The overhead would probably make things worse.  -noframedrop is
as close as it gets.  You can go try MPlayerXP if you want buffering.

Playback will be much faster without it...
