Sorry; I went back and read your original post... I assumed that since
you were trying to use mplayer that you were playing DVD rips, which
would not be HD. I didn't realize you were trying to play

answer (well, besides getting a new TV or new video card...). Too bad
SDL & OpenGL didn't give you good results.
