I was using mplayer as installed with macports, version 1.0rc4, but it was playing moderately small .avi files choppy on my Cinema Display. Further it was messing up the audio sync. To fix this I first got rid of this mplayer version with:
sudo port deactivate mplayer
Then I installed the development version, which so far is working much better:
sudo port install mplayer-devel
