I'am working on Intel 2700G support for BetaPlayer. I'am not ready to release a new unstable version yet, but you can try out and beta test the first preliminary version. At the moment the code supporing Intel 2700G is in a separate closed-source plugin. Install the plugin after you installed the player.

Once the latest player and the "intel2700g" plugin is installed there should be two new video options in menu. Select 'Intel 2700G Decoder' which will accelerate mpeg1 and mpeg4 decoding. The other 'Intel 2700G' will only use the accelerated overlay and scaling features of the 2700G leaving the video decoding to the cpu (Mostly for testing. It has no real advantages)

IMPORTANT: for better perfomance try using SD cards for storing movies instead of CF cards. There is a big speed difference which is probably caused by the X50v hardware. So even non-ultra or non-pro SD cards are faster for video playback as CF cards!
