I've been using VDPAU acceleration to play back Blu-Ray rips for a while, but the extra layer is getting to be quite a hassle so I'm trying to get decent performance via software decoding. It has actually come a long way since the last time I tried and playing Blu-Ray rips via mplayer is nearly watchable. I'm using a dual-core 3.1Ghz CPU and one of the cores is only taxed up to 60% during playback, but frames are still being dropped constantly. Does anyone know where the bottleneck might be?
