For playing BDs right off the disc I use PowerDVD which came with my BD drive. When I remux my BDs to .mkv (and for any other likely .mkv files that you are interested in ) I play them back with either XBMC or Media Player Classic Homecinema, both of which provide hardware acceleration for video playback keeping my CPU usage extremely low and minimizing any stuttering or other stupidness.gamemasterAS wrote:What do you use for your HD playback?

I don't particularly care about the speed though (I think mine's a 4X); all I'm doing with the drive is either playing or ripping my movies.gamemasterAS wrote:I just don't want to adopt the hardware until they're full speed.

Re: How much have you pirated?
Ok, thanks for the suggestions. Nothing makes me angrier than a 3ghz dual core cpu with a ATI 5770 stuttering while doing anything.lifeisbetterwithketchup wrote: For playing BDs right off the disc I use PowerDVD which came with my BD drive.

That's why you should have gotten a 2.8 ghz Intel quad-core and an Nvidia card.

I used to have a 8800gt but driver issues got to me. Plus those nvidia drivers that were frying cards was kinda freaky.bicostp wrote:That's why you should have gotten a 2.8 ghz Intel quad-core and an Nvidia card.
