Playing AVCHD on Nvidia 8600 without stutter

[P.J]

I can't play my camcorder (Canon HF R100) or bluray AVCHD video files smoothly.
I tried most of the programs/codecs in Windows 7 x64/XP SP3 with the latest driver
The only way I found is to reinstall the graphic driver without reboot then it plays great until I don't reboot or run any program that uses GPU.
I can play with my CPU (T7500) and Splash Pro without quality loss but it uses all of my CPU.
My graphic card is 8600M GT 256MB DDR2. Here's the information of the camcorder and bluray video files:

After reinstalling graphic driver (smooth):



Anytime else (not smooth):

I would remove all the codecs from your computer and install both VLC player and the latest Matroska Splitter.

@nwo: I can run it fine with Splash+CPU but it uses all of my CPU.

@Baldrick: I said that I tried most of the programs/codecs.
