Not what a Mac mini is intended for really -g- I own a powermac G4 and it has the same clock speed but more L3 cache and so on and it is faster then this, allthough only .3 of a frame that is still like 10% faster? so use the mini as player or smth but for encoding? patience is a virtue.

Re: Mac Mini 1.42GHz G4
3 fps? Ouch.... I hope you guys don't do a lot of encoding! Can your Mac Minis even play back a high-quality ripped movie without skipping? jk
Re: Mac Mini 1.42GHz G4
I've had quite a discussion in the tikibar allready trying to find the best setting to be able to play smth. on that little bugger.
No, it won't do ANY HD if that is your question. Technically 480p or 576p is not a HD resolution according to the specs I feel it falls in the middle. standard definition TV does 525 lines (NTSC) or 625 lines (PAL) maximum and that is interlaced. so 480/576p is more then a normal ntsc or pal signal from a broadcaster normally carries.
Oke, back to the mini. It can play 480/576p content as long as you do not use too much high profile stuff in you h.264 encode.
SO in short: xvid is no problem what so ever, h.264 needs youto think before you encode something. Check this thread btw: http://forum.handbrake.fr/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=7130 and you'll see that in a lot of cases it does'nt matter anyway since HD outpout of the mini is limited as well.
