[QUOTE="griffindodd, post: 688553, member: 90099"] Thanks Cheezey I grabbed it and replaced the existing FFMpeg with the DXVA version. Do I have to do anything to enable it? My CPU usage seems to have gone up lol. I am running an ATi HD5760 which supports DXVA 1 and 2 so I'm assuming I have missed something here. [B]EDIT/UPDATE:[/B] I've been trying to learn more about the DXVA support in FFMpeg and it seems that even though it is supported it doesn't actually do anything within FFMpeg itself, just formats the data in a way that can be sent to the GPU for the work to be done, it seems that the application itself has to direct the data through the GPU for the processing to actually take place. I'm sure I'm not explaining it very well... "All libavcodec support is outputting the "right" data to send to the video card. You still need to call your video driver API to send it to the card. I suggest you look at some media player source code (VLC, for ex.) to see how to do it." Does this sound right? [/QUOTE]
