Regarding newclock4, does that mean that dvdplayer will have similar performance as omxplayer when paying high bitrate 1080p files? Last time I tried it it wasn't playing all of my files that well. But it was long ago that I played with experimental builds.

From thread next door:

omxplayer enabled will always be lower cpu than disabled. Omxplayer effectively runs the scheduling/rendering/audio engine/sink code on the GPU rather than the arm. That will always be true.
omxplayer rendering is not coupled to gui rendering, so you can have OSD updating at ~10fps and video updating at 30fps (or even 60 for deinterlaced).
Currently dvdplayer is coupled, which means cpu is higher due to OSD being forced to render at video framerate.
Logicially this doesn't have to occur (due to OMXRenderer), but needs some work to decouple the video rendering from OSD rendering.

Basically now dvdplayer is lower cpu with newclock4 than newclock3.
When rendering is decoupled the cpu should be reduced further.

I'm not sure where we will be then. At a guess I'll say raw blu-rays will be omxplayer only.
I'm hoping moderate bitrate 1080p (e.g. 10-20Mb/s) will be okay with dvdplayer, but it could turn out to be better or worse than that.
