Ok, so the CPU is not the bottleneck. Next thing to try is to reduce the
bitrate of the generated MPEG stream: in mplayer.sh.conf set VOP="lavc=6000"
You can try different values there.

So you have two problems:
1) some videos *do play*, but are jerky
2) some videos doesn't play at all

Correct?
Please set DEBUG="true" and USERDEF="" in mplayer.sh.conf and post the
output when playing one of the videos where the screen stays black.

Check wether the harddrives/cdrom are using DMA:
hdparm -v /dev/hda (and so on for the other drives)
Look for "using_dma". If it's not "1", try to set it with
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda

Viewing a video on the X11 desktop or via DVB are two different things.
First, there are different output devices.
Second, for X11 the video has just to be decoded and displayed. This
doesn't take much CPU power.
For DVB the video has to be decoded and then *encoded* as MPEG1 on the
fly. This encoding takes much CPU power.

Cheers,
Juri
