I have been using mplayer to see movies since k7-2(I think it as a k7-2 don't remember for sure). I've seldom got the error about CPU being to slow and always it was another reason for mplayer not being able to play it. I would rather say you should look in mplayer -vo help and try different drivers until you get the one it suites you. If you have a 3d card choose gl or gl2, if not xv. Also please check that you have setup preperly the graphics card. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
