If your video card isn't supported there won't be support for Xv/XVideo acceleration, your CPU will be forced to compensate.
Even on an newer system this will be very slow for HD video, like mkv/h264 encoded files.. some SD content as well.
If you're using nVidia, you're out of luck except for really old cards.. and if you're using ATI/AMD you need to be Radeon HD 4xxx or older, and even then you need to be running a snapshot and manually updating the xf86-video-ati DDX to get textured Xv.
