The latest nVidia and ATI cards have onboard mpeg2 and h264 acceleration. Are there any tips on how to utilize this through MP?

    You need to use a "commercial" video decoder that supports DxVA (hardware acceleration) for MPEG2 and H.264 - for example the CyberLink decoders.

    Most (if not all) of the "open source" video decoders do not use or support hardware acceleration - decoders like MPV, Descaler, ffdshow, CoreAVC, etc...

    HTH?

    (BTW, this post was in the incorrect section - "Tips and Tricks" is for known working tips - not for support queries)

    I'm using the PowerDVD 7.3 DirectShow filter to decode my x264 videos, I have checked "Use DxVA". Still I have >50% CPU utilization on my Athlon 4200+.

    I have a GeForce 8600GS and the nvidia driver 169.xx (dunno the correct version). What's wrong with it?

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Thanks for the update on this. I should have searched before posting, always assume it is something I have done wrong.
