I just bought the HD2400 pro after readiing all the good reviews about the card and how it uses little cpu power when watching hd stuff. http://www.hardspell.com/english/doc/showcont.asp?news_id=622&pageid=629
Well, it does not work for me... Cpu usage is still very high when watching mkv files and even upscaled dvds to 1080p.

I have the latest version of mp installed. Power dvd 7.3 installed. The latest CCC installed. Haali mkv splitter installed. FFDshow installed..

What do I need to do get mkv files play smoothly? Or can the Hd 2400 pro only work with actual HD dvd and bluray discs? And mkv, divx, xvid, avi HD stuff just get ignored by the avivo system..

Can someone who has had success using the hd 2400/2600 with MP help?

Thanks...

hi,

i got a HD 2400 pro too. For me the only way to get HW accelerated HD content is using catalyst 7.6 + registry hacks and powerdvd 7.3 ultra with latest patch. This combination accelerates all vc1 or h264 in wmp11, powerdvd and MP - but quite instable sometimes.
Installation of any newer catalyst just accelerates vc1 in powerdvd and wmp11, not MP. h264 acceleration neither works in powerdvd, wmp11, nor MP.
