We will release the XBMC as the default media playback app. XBMC is fully optimized with hardware acceleration for video and graphics. It lets you playback 1080p video without problem. BTW, I understand your frustration on video driver support. Actually there is no standard API interface for video playback and encoding in Ubuntu unlike the DXVA in windows or media framework in Android. So you have to optimize the video application individually. Unfortunately, there is no hardware optimization for GNOME MPlayer in this case. But you get it right, we will remove GNOME MPlayer in the next release and put the XBMC instead.
