--- End quote ---
When a video is playing (or paused) right-click the image and select DirectShow Filters → madVR
 
Set all the scaling options to Bilinear, and enable all the "Trade quality for performance" options.
There are full details of all the madVR settings in the guide linked at the bottom of my post.

It's possible that you're simply seeing judder from outputting at 60Hz. (film is 24fps)
 
If your display will sync at 72Hz (24x3) it should eliminate the judder.
But without proper stats, it's difficult to say if what you're seeing is judder or simply framerate drops.
 
Hopefully at the lowest quality settings you will be able to have smooth playback without dropped frames (note: there may be a small number of dropped frames at the beginning of playback, which can be reset with CTRL+R - what you don't want is a constantly increasing number of dropped frames)
 
 
While ROHQ may require a more powerful GPU, ROSTD should not.

If you want to Play blu-ray on a low power system I can fully recommend the broadcom crystal hd mini pcie card, this tiny card does a great job with everything i have tried, dvd and Blu-ray rips and also iTunes video.

My cpu is a 35w Pentium G2100T 2.6ghz, 1gb of memory running win 7.

It doesn't seem like this is a decoding problem, as the decoder queue is at 9-12/12.

I'm going to keep an eye on it, but for now: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Started Jack Reacher again on ROHQ and had a zillion dropped/delayed frames. Set madVR to how you said and since hitting reply (and pressing Ctrl+R to reset the bad frame counters) they're both at a big fat zero.

Except my PC has just gone on to screen saver which caused both dropped and delayed frames - is that normal?

And finally, can I tweak madVR (step it back up again) to improve things or is how it is now still better than ROSTD?

To confirm, I have these settings:

Bitstreaming on
HDMI audio WASAPI
VideoClock off
HA on
ROHQ (with custom madVR settings)
Aspect ratio correction: 1.33 to 1.78
Windows desktop at 1024x768 (which I think is easier to read than 720p, so display settings in MC is unticked (as I assume it uses whatever the desktop resolution is set to?
