Hello griffore, My Mac Mini 2.0Ghz plays 1080P mkv in VLC so in power I think there should be no difference if it should be played thru XBMC.
From what I have heard the AppleTV don't play 720p mkv due to the power in the processor.
Elan and Ezar:
Keep up the good work, is there someway we (users without programming skills) can contribute?

@gurkburk: If you can use a compiler, I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you tried to compile it and run it.
If you get any compilation errors, report them.

If you read the hardware discussion threads in the Linux user forum you will find that it is the general consensus (among those who tried to play back native 1080p MPEG-4 AVC H.264 video) that you need at least a Intel 2,4Ghz Core2 Duo processor to be able to play most 1080p H264 videos that are available, ...howvere even a such fast processor like that has stumped in the playback of some very high-bitrate intensive scenes one or two specific movies.
Remember that XBMC only uses the CPU to decode video today, (no assistance is given by the GPU in the actual decoding), which is why you need a very fast CPU to decode 1080p MPEG-4 AVC H.264 video.
