Make sure you are using the latest version which is Mplayer OSX Extended Rev14.
Also make sure in Preferences, Mplayer: That you click on "Official Mplayer SVN with FFmpeg-MT" and then click "use this binary". It should turn bold.
The default "Official Mplayer SVN" version does not support multi-core cpus, so by default it will always try to do all decoding on 1 core, instead of using both.
Since 1080p playback is quite demanding, the FFmpeg-MT(for multi-threading, as in multi-core) version is required for smooth playback.
Hope this helps!
