[QUOTE="Badsted, post: 396931, member: 26143"] I have the B204 too and have the same problem getting HW acceleration to work. I have been working with some of these clips: [url=http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/musicandvideo/hdvideo/contentshowcase.aspx]WMV HD Content Showcase[/url] But with very little results. 720p plays with stuttering picture or sound and as far as I can tell no HW acc. I have even tried installing both Windows 7 and Vista (both Home Basic and Ultimate) to get DXVA2 but no difference did it make. CPU stays at app. 60 and picture stutters. I have even seen some stutter in some of my recorded SD material. Then I got hold of a 720p recording from Australia, I think, and that looked even worse than anything else. I have noticed that the stuttering is less with bitrates below 7 Mb/s, but Asus promise available bitrates up to 15 Mb/s. So I am returning the box again one of these days and will start building a new HTPC one of these days.....or maybe I should wait for the B208..... ;-) Best regards Henrik Badsted Denmark [/QUOTE]
