[QUOTE="mrkrad, post: 180908, member: 55399"] i found that haali mkv seemed to only use soft decode. but at 1080p a 2.4ghz e4300 was plenty of power (8600 GT OC video, dual interleaved ram, sata-II 300 7200.10 drive) to handle it. so i'll live with soft decode since it didn't drop frames. quality is a little less than desired. but unlike xbmc-linux, media portal is just working right now. so for now brute force powah is an acceptable solution since the e4300 is down to like $55 and copper paint $8 brings it up to 2.4ghz :) haali mkv is a definite problem. the same media in a standard format routes fine in vista.32 to the GPU powered codec. not sure what haali is doing to present a different path of codecs.
