Maybe you should post this somewhere where more OS4.1 user post.

My first reaction with a SAM based system is to suggest that its CPU isn't up to the task of DVD decoding, but that doesn't seem to be your problem (your problem appears to be software related).

Common guys! Any suggestions, alternative playback software, etc?

Good work! Nice seeing someone figuring out a problem and posting the link to a solution.

Software may improve as OS4 matures and Hyperion learns more about using GPU based acceleration. Plus other software may suplant the media player you're using.

The near 100% CPU utilization would point to a lack of GPU utilization.

I'm glad you've got it up and running.

I haven't had to make sure DMA was enabled on anything since I used an Alladin IV Socket 7 motherboard.

I'm impressed how quickly you and the person that suggest this got it together.

That doesn't sound right. Are you sure that  CPU usage software reas correctly?
