@Popcornmix:

I am wondering where all recent developments are going, and if there is a certain goal you have in mind.
I mean, it is really cool that we now have DvdPlayer with hardware support and the support in DvdPlayer for the static menus is a huge improvement over OmxPlayer. But besides the DVD issues, I was/am quite happy with OmxPlayer.

Some observations:
- OmxPlayer plays back non-dvd video's (tested some h264 mkv-videos) much smoother than DvdPlayer. This is especially noticeable when panning left-right or vice verse.
- When playing DVD's (don't know about other videos...), DvdPlayer has frame-accurate timing of subtitles. When playing with OmxPlayer, there is quite some jittering on the subtitle timing. (See my little subtitle test here (Raspbmc Subtitile Test) and see the difference when played with Omx and DvdPlayer)
- OmxPlayer has no support for static DVD menus, while DvdPlayer has...

So what's your intention ?
- Try to improve both as much as possible, and see which one is the 'winner' in the end?
- Try to make DvdPlayer good enough so we can abandon OmxPLayer completely?
- Keep OmxPlayer and DvdPlayer concurrently alive for respectively non-dvd and dvd-playback?
- Backport dvd-playing fixes (e.g. static menus) back to OmxPlayer?
- Other?

I'm just curious what your strategy is...

Thanks a bunch!
