Followed this guide on my 8.04 desktop (8600GT, E6550 CPU), and it built
okay.

First problem is the their patched mplayer hates .mkv containers, and
just bails with an odd error.

However, extracting raw h264 video from .mkv containers shows some
truely impressive gains. mplayer goes from 90% CPU (of 200%) to 2% CPU
on a few samples I've tried out.

It's early days, but it looks good.
