MPEG2 and MPEG4. I'm only using PAL resolution though (720x576).

It all seems pretty smooth, although I haven't watched anything very
fast moving yet. Maybe I'll rent the Bourne Ultimatum and try that!

I used mplayer, and that seemed OK, even though I hadn't applied the
VIA patch so the video wasn't accelerated.

I've been using the MythTV internal player which seems to handle
everything - including DVDs, so I haven't needed to try mplayer or
xine.
