Sergio,

You may need to compile XvMC support into mplayer.  The package I use in
Debian unstable has it compiled in already.  I simply ran:

stinerman at stine-1:~$ mplayer -vo xvmc -vc ffmpeg12mc file.mpeg

Well, I ran my 1080i test using a DVB card, but the theory is the same.
I can use XvMC acceleration with standard definition DVDs.

That's the only way I know to test.
