Do you have any suggestions for how to do this?  I have a pretty good 
nvidia video card in the laptops I use (nvs4200m).  I can get up to 
about 50 fps at 1280x720 with using  -vo gl:force-pbo. However, I need 
to be able to get 60 fps since I usually use interframe to frame double 
30 fps media (This is for corporate videos that need to look extremely 
smooth when projected, not just for watching movies).  If you have 
suggestions on speeding up gl further, that would be great.

I get just over 30 fps with direct3d, not sure why, I thought that was 
supposed to be a newer vo.  I can provide benchmarks I did with directx, 
direct3d and gl if that would help.  I couldn't really understand what 
they showed.

Is there anything I can do to provide that debugging?  Not sure exactly 
what you would need for that.
