Hi,

I want to enable the hardware accerleration in MP. I use the decoder that was integrated in the installer. Were do I enable the accerleration for mpeg2?

Thanks for the information. Can you tell me which mpeg-2 decoders are the most recommendable and that can use hardware accerleration? They don't have to be free. If there is a excellent decoder that is not free, thats no problem. I think it is one of the most important softwares on my HTPC...

Maybe the hardware is from importance too. I have a Nvidia 6150 onboard. And I mostly watch DVB-S here in Europe. The TV Card is a Hauppauge Nova-S Plus. And of cause I also watch DVD's.

The nvidia purevideo decoder will suite your HW fine, and it's even one of the better ones overall. You can download a trial version from nvidia.com.

I installed the trial for Nvidia Purevideo now and selected the Nvidia Decoder in Mediaportal. But I still have a 100% CPU usage while watching TV or DVD. I think the hardware acceleration isn't activated yet. Were do I activate it?

Did you enable the Nvidia Purevideo Decoder for both TV and DVD ? The tick for HW acceleration is in the PureVideo Settings Dialog under Directshow Filter in MediaPortal configuration.exe

What is your CPU ? Because even with a software decoder you shouldn't reach 100% with the minimal CPU recommendation !

I activated Purevideo for TV and DVD. Hardware Acceleration is enabled in the Pure Video options.
I also have only the TV connected to the PC, so I think it is the primary screen. But I'm not sure about it.

I have a A64bit 3000+ Manila for AM2.

Hi!
Make a check with 'dxdiag'.
maybe DirectDraw or Direct3D is not enabled. I had this issue with nvidia PureVideo and Hauppauge-Drivers for PVR 150.
Don't know the reason, but after a fresh install it was gone.

MP1 MP2 Resume for External Players DE
I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

MP1 MP2 [solved] Fresh MP2 install issues (no DVD sound / LAV filters) DE
Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
