I'll try to find this out tomorrow, but it seems to me that the winning combination of players is KMplayer (from the above link) and mplayer from sheeplauncher.net. The file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ shows;
deb http://sheeplauncher.net/debs/ ./ #Packrat
I added that through MeeCatalog.
Strangely SMplayer plays the same test video like crap that plays perfectly smoothly with KMplayer using mplayer 2:2.0 package.
The video that I'm using is one that was ripped from a DVD, Nautilus shows it as Dimensions 712x462, Codec H264, 24 frames per second, bitrate 18kbps.
Audio is Dolby Digital (AC-3) Stereo with 192 kbps.
This basically is 720p, and works a treat with this combination!

Name of the catalog: Packrat
URI to the catalog: http://sheeplauncher.net/debs/
Distribution: ./
That last line is a period and / in case you can't see it for whatever reason.
MeeCatalog is odd though, it doesn't show everything in the repositories I've added through it. I think there has to be a specific 'packages' like file for it, anyone know this for sure?
For example, I also have rzr's repositories in there, but p-uae doesn't show up under MeeCatalog, but other things do.

Not sure why that doesn't work sometimes, but I would just verify there is a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ that has that repository line in it, then 'apt-get install mplayer2' as root.

Thanks for your reply Slaapliedje, and sorry that I haven't seen it before.
I've done what you explained but still no mplayer2 found, either in MeeCatalog or by using the Terminal. There is a meecatalog.list file with the corresponding Packrat repository line, but still no mplayer2 found after apt-get update.
Would there be another way of getting the deb file? Have you saved it somewhere, just in case?

In /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meecatolog.list, I have an entry like this;
Oops, my bad, the package name is NOT mplayer2, it's just mplayer.
As an 'apt-cache search mplayer' shows;
This shows that the package version is 2:2.0.
dpkg -l|grep mplayer shows this;
Hope this all helps.

It plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA files, supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. You can watch VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, and DivX movies too (and you don't need the avifile library at all!). . Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, AAlib, DirectFB, but you can also use GGI and SDL (and this way all their drivers) and some lowlevel card-specific drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon, Mach64, Permedia3) too! Most of them supports software or hardware scaling, so you can enjoy movies in fullscreen. . MPlayer supports displaying through some hardware MPEG decoder boards, such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+. . And what about the nice big antialiased shaded subtitles (10 supported types) with European/ISO 8859-1,2 (Hungarian, English, Czech, etc), Cyrillic, Korean fonts, and the onscreen display (OSD)?

Great, thanks. I thought the package was mplayer2, hence the issue. I finally managed to update mplayer to the 2.2.0 version. Let's see now if it makes the rendering of videos of higher resolution smoother.
For the install, you can absolutely use a terminal method but I personally preferred not to enable Dev Mode on my N9. It's an easy option if you like to do it that way, but I just feel safer(and lazier) using trusted deb packages. I'd say the simpler way is this:
1) Allow installations from non-Store sources on device.
2) Download the MPlayer and KMPlayer packages from here. You'll probably want to opt for the most up to date packages ("kmplayer_0.10.9.910-1_armel.deb" and "mplayer_1.0svn20120427-1_armel.deb")
3) Select those packages from the transfers list and install both individually. If you're uber paranoid, feel free to restart your device after each install. I got into a habit of it from the N900 days. It's a time waster, but it doesn't do any harm, it can only help.
That's really it! Let me know if anything wasn't clear. Best of luck!
