do you mean that a GPU with HW MPG2 decoding will be useless?

No, i never said that?
Internal directshow based player:
+ you get h/w accelerated decoding for formats like wmv,mpg-2, h264,...
+ can be perfectly integrated with the rest of MP-II
+ provides the best user expierence & usability
- requires external codecs
External based players (VLC/powerdvd/zoomplayer/...):
- Some external players dont have H/W accelerated decoding for formats like wmv,mpg-2,h264,...
(example VLC has not)
- it cannot be perfectly integrated with the rest of MP-II
- gives a bad user experience since you are working with multiple seperate applications
+ no messing around with external codecs since the external apps do this for you
+ provides support for HD-DVD & blueray playback (when using powerdvd)
