Slow-downs - BD playback [RO STD issues on underpowered hardware]

I should add, if you didn't see it...

AMD GPU acceleration has been a bit flaky lately.

Make sure you have the latest build, and see if the Hardware Acceleration works or not.

Watching Looper again now as a test (not in full screen) with the Performance tab from Task Manager open -

CPU - sits around 30% but has spiked upto about 60%
Memory - 1.0/4.0 (25%)
Disk 0 (C:) - 0% (media on NAS)
Ethernet - S: 0.5 R: sits around 30% but has spiked up to 50-60%

I was under the impression the 5450 could more than comfortably handle Blu-ray content without needing a beefy CPU. That said the 6450 is only about £30 in my region - would this card be worth it? I want one with HD audio bitstreaming (hence my choice of the 5450). I've actually been thinking about this thing in general as might introduce some light gaming on my HTPC.

I've actually been looking at getting a Kaveri based motherboard/APU platform - any experiences?

Try turning off bitstreaming (let JR decode the audio) to see if it is an Audio/Video sync issue.

This may be causing you problems - 25/29/30Hz are all interlaced outputs. (1080i, not 1080p)
 
What is your display? It sounds like it's a 720p native screen, and you could likely be seeing cadence detection errors from the interlaced output.
 
Your output needs to be 24/50/60Hz for it to be progressive.
 

I would also suggest that you try ROHQ, but set it to the lowest quality output - Bilinear scaling for all settings, and enable all the "trade quality for performance options - check the guide linked at the bottom of my post for how to do this.
 
The reason I'm suggesting this, is that ROHQ will let you press CTRL+J to view stats on whether you're seeing dropped or repeated frames during playback, which is an indicator of your hardware possibly not being up to the task.

My display is a 1080i Panasonic TH-42PH9. Windows resolution is set to 720p ad 1080i makes everything too small!

If I was to upgrade the GPU, and AMD HA is flaky, what's NVIDIA's equivalent of the Radeon HD6450?
