i've been testing dvdplayer as the video player and since i've last tried it a few weeks ago, it has improved greatly. GUI is smoother as well as fast forwarding and rewinding.
only one youtube video was problematic. Overall i'm happy with it, and i'm keeping it as the default for now.
[edit]
After spending more time with dvdplayer, i have gone back to omxplayer (which i have no problems with). When dvdplayer do work it works smoother (you can tell by seeking and going through the osd menu while a movie is playing). But when it doesn't work it slows down the entire rpi. I also notice audio cannot be muted with dvdplayer on my rpi.
