I'm using the nv unacelarated driver, and have some success with: mplayer -fs -vo xvidix nvidia_vid "$@" It's not too quick, but it's a heck of a lot quicker than default :) I have a feeling that I read somwhwere in the mplayer docs that the above is the only thing that works on nvidia, even with the closed source driver.
