I'm talking about the built in myth video player NOT mplayer :)
Mplayer works fine.

This is strange - as far as I understood, mpeg4 encoding/decoding was more
cpu intensive than mpeg 2?
Also there was no cpu difference between mpeg4 decoding with XvMC off or on.
Doesn't mythtv use XvMC for mpeg4 playback or is XvMC for mpeg 2 only?
Your setup of mythvideo may be different but I've got mine setup to run mplayer using the xv video output (it was the default). Mythvideo just calls mplayer with the command line you configure in Utilities/Setup -> Setup -> Media Settings -> Videos settings -> Player Settings.
You can compile mplayer with xvmc support (i.e. run configure with --enable-xvmc) and then make your mythvideo command something like:
mplayer -fs -zoom -quiet -vo xvmc %s
Mythvideo is working great for me so I'm going to leave mine using xv.. unless
anyone has a compelling reason to use xvmc?
