[QUOTE="BlueMax1916, post: 1009949, member: 30294"] Great guide here. A thought on the recommendation for using CUVID vs. DXVA (native) with Nvidia graphics adapters. On my gaming system I have a GTX 580 and using CUVID the system consumes much more power while watching a movie than with using DXVA (native). Power usage of the whole system is CUVID = 134 W vs. DXVA (native) = 81 W. That is a difference of 53 W. Also the temperature of the graphics adapter rises. CUVID > 50 °C vs. DXVA (native) 37 °C. This is an example for a high end grapics adapter. That big difference may not be appropriate to smaller cards like GT 520 which I have in my HTPC. The absolute value of the difference will be smaller. I did not try it there. As the HTPC is in use by my wife :p On small HTPC boxes using CUVID may lead to fans spinning faster and being louder.
