May be you are right.
But I thought about and for experiment I have installed on another 
partition Windows XP SP3
and K-lite Codec Mega Pack. So, it work very good and CPU don't fill 
some load. I can watch all
my movies in HD quality without any problems on my laptop, but only on 
the Windows. I don't like this system.

So, we have problems not with computer, we have problems with this codec 
H.264 and vdpau too.
Why on the Windows I can watch HD movies and on the Linux no ?

By the way, I think I resolve this problems and now I test it.

I went to this link:
https://launchpad.net/~rvm/+archive/mplayer

and add to my /etc/apt/sources.list
this code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/rvm/mplayer/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/rvm/mplayer/ubuntu jaunty main

after this I did:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 03E02400
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mplayer

after this I have edited config for mplayer:

gedit ~/.mplayer/config

# Write your default config options here!
#vo=gl:rectangle=1:swapinterval=1:slice-height=0
double=true
lavdopts=fast=1:skiploopfilter=all:threads=2
cache=8128
vsync=true
autosync=30
framedrop=true
brightness=1
afm=hwdts
ao=alsa
stop-xscreensaver=true

gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack

vo=vdpau,xv,
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,

and start play my video with command:

mplayer -ao alsa -vfm gl2 ffmpeg -lavdopts 
lowres=1:fast:skiploopfilter=all ~/discovery.mkv

And now it work very good. But I want test it for some problems.
I know that is strange but for me it work.

Continue investigation...
