according to the last "official" comment in this thread they aren't going to port until 1.0.0 final is out....which isn't supposed to come out till years end.
that is a really long time though so heres hoping they will change their minds and port before mplayer reaches final.

- [ffmpeg-devel] [patch] fast h264 decoding (reimar döffinger) (this enables -lavdopts fast in mplayer, but we should only use it on h264/avc at first in xbmc)
(maybe later this feature could be expanded to also be auto-enabled on all resolutions higher than 720x576 and thus offer smoother playback for all hdtv video)
- [mplayer-dev-eng] [patch] libavcodec skip decoding options (reimar döffinger) (patch has many features but only "skiploopfilter" seems interesting here for us)
both patches enables smoother playback of h264/avc on the limited (cpu/ram) resourses of the xbox, (at the expense of a small quality loss that's worth paying).

if not is it something that can be added manually or does it need to be compiled for the xbox?
thanks! i'm seeing more and more h.264 content online and would love to be able to play it at full speed.
