I just tried it in virtualbox again tonight.  On a 1080p movie trailer
using x264 encoding, it performed very, very poorly.  I wouldn't consider
it usable, at least for stuff at that resolution.  I can't compare that
to current totem in OI because current totem is using gstreamer-0.x, and
I haven't been able to find a plugin that will decode x264 for that
series.

I'll submit what I have when I get a chance, but it probably won't be
before Monday.
