Yes, I am right. Your agressivity also does not serve you nor does it serve the issue at hand. Of course, it is high definition content.

My videos are somewhat 1024x768 and more with high bitrate. Therefore, I still maintain my statement for my usage of MPlayer. Thanks for the technical explainations, they are really appreciated.
