Is the man page out of date? :

       -pp <quality> (see -npp option too!)
              Apply postprocess filter on decoded image

              Postprocessing  effect  depends  on  the  codec and
              works only for MPEG1/2, libavcodec codecs (ff*). It
              doesn't work for Win32/XAnim codecs.

Neither of those options seem to help. Xine and mplayer both barely
register on my CPU load meter with this clip BTW.
