Comment (by crosma@…):

 The MPlayer developers recommend using the Cocoa backend with OpenGL for
 playback on modern OSX.

 To build, simply compile with both OpenGL and Corevideo support (doing so
 does not cause issues anyway with current versions of MPlayer). This means
 modifying the Portfile so that enabling OpenGL does not disable Corevideo.

 Then play videos using OpenGL with the Cocoa backend: mplayer -vo
 gl:backend=4 [movie]

 Fullscreen only works correctly with OpenGL when using the SDL backend
 like so: mplayer -fs -vo gl:backend=2 [movie]
