I'm able to play most of the 720p's on my mac mini (G4 1.25GHz w/ 512M), there are however some small jerkiness in some scene changes.
1080p opens and the resolution is wider than what my monitor likes (1280x1024) and resizing to fit the screen helps a little, but not even close of being viewable. A couple of frames from here and there. Sound works fine though;)
I think the faster mac mini will play the 720p's ok, but 1080p requires much more power... Oh well, I didn't buy the computer to watch some trailers.
Couple x86-friends of mine tested these on their machines: - 2200+ just barely played some of the ones with lower bitrate like the wildlife. - a64 3000+ played 720p's with about 75% cpu load, and 1080p failed b/c mplayer (he thinks).
At least the 1080p ones were over the edges in 100%/default setting and fullscreen resized it to fit the screen, not that I have fast enough computer to watch those though:(

Yes, it [QT7 Pro] resizes it to fit the screen.
