Normal
It's probably worth using GraphStudio (i.e. connect to remote graph) to check that MP actually is using the video decoder you select - it will fall back to normal DirectShow merit selection if it can't make the preferred decoder work.If it is using the MPC-HC deocder, open up the MPC-HC filter property page (in GraphStudio) while it's running to check if it's actually using DXVA. I think that to get hardware acceleration for H264 you may need to be using EVR.Tony
