Any ffdshow guru's here?
Since ffdshow now decodes Dolby TrueHD I'd like to be able to use that functionality. However, when I get it to decode Dolby TrueHD the video file playback is very erratic with any decoder I use. Any thoughts?

ffdshow is completely CPU bound. You're going to have to have a pretty high end CPU to be able to decode amy blu-ray format with Dolby TrueHD decoding. Whether you use ffdshow for the video or not. Your ATI 3450 will help offload some of the decoding with the proper drivers and decoder, but it won't help with the Dolby TrueHD decoding.

One thing I would look at is make sure that you don't have ffdshow set to handle h264 to allow your DXVA enabled decoder to do it. Or if you were using ffdshow from the beginning make sure its set to use the libravcodec-mt since I think that celeron is a dual core, or use the media player classic codecs instead. Gplasky is right however that TrueHD can be CPU bound and a e1200 is pretty slow. Not much better than your server actually.

Without a video card and decoder that is capable of accelerating 1080p H.264 you will not be able to get smooth playback on that system no matter how high you overclock it. The Athon 64 was loads faster than the Athon XP and a dual core A64 X2 at 2.2Ghz is still not fast enough for software decoding of 1080p H.264. ffdshow is not capable of hardware acceleration. It is strictly a software decoder.
