Does it work now then?

I don't know how close to rv670 rs780 is, but I have artifact issues 
with my rv670 that don't show with my rv790.

If you can get it to display I would interested what -

looks like.

Just to be clear, this not for pipe video - you have to decode with 
ffmpeg software. I guess xv would be the fastest vo to use.

Personally I prefer -vo gl, but gallium is slower than classic for me 
(not helped by having a noisy fan requiring me to keep my card on low 
power when using as HTPC). I think the difference is because gallium 
uses blits rather than memcpy.

I don't think mplayer will show fps, but it does have a benchmark option 
(you still have to work out your own fps).

Unless you are bottlenecked on display I expect newmobcal would show a 
small difference with threads=4, but some high bitrate h264 would 
probably be better.

To benchmark you need to turn off various vsyncs depending on -vo

First in xorg.conf device section
Option          "SwapbuffersWait" "off"

For gl, run mplayer with env vblank_mode=0

For xv, xvattr -a XV_VSYNC -v 0

Then try mplayer -nosound -benchmark -vo xv newmobcal1920.ts

and repeat with -lavdopts threads=4

Though it shouldn't affect benchmarks too much, when actually using my 
PC as HTPC I've found cpufreq_ondemand to be a pain - so I set to perf.

If rs780 has power saving then that's another variable to play with eg 
as root.
