[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 69322, member: 14004"] Yep. MediaPortal used VMR9 - which uses DirectX instead of overlays to output your video content. The benefit to this is that VMR9 actually displays your video on a 2 dimensional plane using the 3D renderer. this means that any effects or changes you want to perform to the video are actually carried out by your videocard, and not your CPU. Not only that, but that plane can be manipulated, transformed, moved, etc.. It allows for a lot more freedom and potential to developers, and at the same time offloads processing from the CPU and puts it in the hands of the videocard, which is designed solely to manipulate video.
