Also, consider that this is the next logical step for a developer, which is who you are replying to. How can you accelerate h264 if you don't know how to accelerate simpler forms of mpeg4?

DivX and XviD are implementations of MPEG-4 Part 2, sometimes referred to as MPEG-4 ASP/SP and closely related to H.263. Decoding it is not a challenge even for low-end CPUs, though hardware acceleration is desirable where battery power must be preserved.
MPEG-4 Part 10 or H.264, sometimes referred to as MPEG-4 AVC, is what taxes even modern and fast CPUs. High-bitrate 1080p content usually requires a multithreaded implementation or hardware acceleration.
