No, I said video playback was slow. I would accept that my system was too
slow for DVD playback if it didn't work with other players. And no, I don't
want to use them because I like mplayer in so many other ways. What I am
trying to do with this bugreport is to help improve mplayer, not to
criticise.

I doubt that's what's happening, because playback is smooth and not jerky
as is the case if I use -framedrop in mplayer. I don't know if vlc uses
framedrop by default, but the playback is much faster and still not jerky
(only in fast moving scenes...so work can be done there too).

It certainly is crap, because it's NVidia. Had I bougt this system myself I
would not have made that choise but...
