Default

so any card that suports directx 9 has dxva, i was searching around for this and came across this thread here with people argueing over the whole issue with one guy listing the fx5200 as not supporting dxva.

Am i right in thinking that there are 2 types of decoder one which uses hardware acceleration (dxva) and one that does it all in software, with the purevideo decoder just using an additional "chip" on graphics cards that support it.

also is there a list that puts the decoders in to one of the 2 groups hardware (dxva) or software, do any of the default ones taht come with media portal support dxva, and how can i tell if its been used
