wormhole2k: You need at last 3+GHz CPU to decode ~24FPS FullHD videos or DXVA hardware.

I believe that it should support Hardware Acceleration, but to be hornest, I am not sure that it is enabled.
Is it possible to enable this with ffdshow, or MPC ? (Does does MPC just support this) ?

Is it possible to show the FPS within mediaportal when showing movies maybe ?

You need modern GPU to make DXVA working (ATI HD 4/5xxx) on nVidia 2xx or newer.

I have tested, and I get around 20-24 FPS avg. (Will post some screenshots later).
I have tried the newest svn build (generic) from ffdshow tryouts, and select ffmpeg-mt under the installation.

Now it actually comes up as "ffdhow DVXA Decoder" under MP. So far so good.

It uses around 80-85% of CPU when playing an 1080P mkv file. BUT only one of the CPUs. The graphs shows that "CPU2" is almost not used at all. How can this be?

I have also tried to enable DXVA under the new ffdshow, but it does no difference what so ever (most likely because it is not supported as you guys are saying).
Is there anyway to see if it uses the GPU or not?

Really a shame if it is not possible for me to view 1080P. :(
I have read different places that it is possible with the exact same setup for other people.

I'd also say performance.

Easiest way for you to upgrade your system would be install an (nVidia) video card that supports DXVA (reason I say nVidia is because ATI doesn't seem interested in actually supporting DXVA, it's just a fortunate coincidence that their cards work sometimes).

On my HTPC (Athlon 7750 with GeForce 8600GT) if I turn off DXVA, 1080p decoding is usually between 70%-95% . Using DXVA, it's about 8-10%.


EDIT: I'd also recommend you try MPC-HC (http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/) to test DXVA. It'll tell you on the status bar if it's using DXVA, and it's got the best multi-core and DXVA support "out of the box" that I've seen
