Peter's AMD64 3200+ can't decode mpeg4 in real time. (bitrate?)
Even Attila "decode it in software" Kinali admits that a
AMD64 3700+ isn't fast enough to decode H.264. (bitrate?)
If anyone else wants to try the particular video in question, it's the HD
version of the Blender Foundation's "Elephant's Dream" project, in case it's
a peculiarity of that particular file.
As I may well have a broken media player/X server set up, I'm kinda loathe to
be held up as a benchmark so frequently. ;)
OTOH, I'm getting a new laptop soon(ish), which is probably going to be Intel
Core 2 Duo T5500 with Intel GMA 950 graphics, so I'll try again with that and
let everyone know.

I tested the HD version of elephant dream on my pc. It work well with
only software decoding. The cpu usage was around 50% with low of 40% and
max of approximately 80%. A normal mpeg on my computer use ~ 25% at
720x480 resolution.
The pc spec are the following : athlon 2GHz, geforce2mx. The video was
played using mplayer on Gentoo with the nvidia binary driver.
As I can see it playing HD video on a modern computer shouldn't be a
problem except if there is crypto present in the stream.
