I am using vdr-xine. xine with xxmc enabled works great:

12% cpu utilization (@1280x1024)

The idea is to be able to play with a minimum of fuzz .avi files from within vdr

I believe the externalplayer plugin + mplayer (with xvmc enabled), is the way to go?

On an old Machine (Pentium3 @ 1000Mhz with 1GB of RAM) running vdr 1.7.21 happily, what is the best (simple, no frills) way to play .avi files from within vdr?

If you use softdevice, there's an accompanying plugin called softplay that plays back most files ffmpeg can play. Which output device are you using?
