It looks like MP uses VMR-9 renderless mode because it gives you the option to select exclusive mode and nonsquare mixing for scaling. You can only work with shaders in this mode.BTW, I have tried MPC-HC to play a H.264/AAC video file. Even though DxVA was enabled at the transform filter, the MPC video decoder was showing "Not Using DXVA" as greyed out. CPU was 8%-12%. The same goes with my Xvid files. CPU was 4%-6%. Sometimes if you look at the video decoder's output pin, it will tell you if biCompression is using DXVA.
