You'll need a lot more than a mobile P4 to handle 1080p media. Think
Nehalem/Core i7. You'll also need to configure mediatomb to use
"-threads 8" with ffmpeg so that it multi-threads across all cores. You
should have decent playback then.

Don't believe me? Think I'm trolling (opinion from @redhat as of late)?
Then be my guest to issue a "ffmpeg -in video1-1080.mkv -sameq -f mp4
video2.mp4" on your laptop. Watch the fps counter carefully.
