Improve MPlayer performance / video smoothness

[alexandre_fs]

Hello again.

I have a presentation and I will use a 4 minute 2880x1080 .MOV file with H264 compression.
The video will be spaned to 2 projectores simulating a video wall. I acomplished this with a dual output graphic card.

From previous post: https://forum.videohelp.com/topic362389.html


Basically at that time I chose KMPlayer. Now I changed to MPlayer because I want to automate everything in command line, and MPlayer is much more powerful in that.

I'll stick to MPlayer, I promise

Now... MPlayer allows a lot of configurations, but I lack some basic video knowledge to do that on my own.
I read an article (http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/747/) that gave me some insight, but maybe someone can help me out in simple that would increase video smoothness.

The CPU usage is about 35% which is nice, but sometimes it becomes noticeable that the rendering is not smooth. It seems like the flow gets interrupted... Is there a way to avoid this?
I have a great graphics card: NVidia Gigabyte 9800GTX+, but my CPU and RAM are not that good. 1GB RAM only...

Is there any options I can add to increase performance?
Maybe using an external codec from other players? VLC had greate performance, but I did not use it because was terrible doing loops...
So could I use VLC codecs?

Additional note: Video has no sound.

Thank you, and to everyone that has been answering my questions the last few days...
