    I've tried to play those new bluray files on mplayer, but it's only 99% smooth.
    Is there a player that supports the nvidia gpu?

    Try Media Player Classic / GOM Player / VLC

    what's GOM? VLC is fkg slow.
    I got MPC + coreavc + vobsub. much better, but some files play at screwy speeds (eg video 200%, audio 100%)

    I've been using VLC because it's good with compatibility -- isn't always asking for codecs. However it has hitches in the sound sometimes. Is Media Player Classic better?

    I found the GOM page here
    http://www.gomlab.com/eng/
    but I've never heard of GOM before.

    Found a little more about GOM

    I use Media Player Classic.

    I got my M1530 the other day and MPC has had no trouble at all playing everything 100% smoothly. Seeks through perfectly. Everything is just fine
