I tried using mplayer but got this error message:

Code:
           ************************************************
           **** Your system is too SLOW to play this!  ****
           ************************************************
But this is running on a quad core computer!?

The problem is that mplayer is only using one core and each of my cores are running at less than 3 Ghz...

I made mplayer use two cores by changing the ~/.mplayer/config
Code:
lavdopts=threads=2
It worked ok but then I saw this error message:

Code:
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
So I added another option and my ~/.mplayer/config looks like this:
Code:
lavdopts=threads=2
vo=x11
