[QUOTE="zicoz, post: 688109, member: 24585"] I'm using the Microsoft codecs that comes with Windows 7. But I have also tried things like PowerDVD, Arcsoft, CoreAVC and FFDShow without any difference DXVA should be enabled I've tried with C&Q both on and off, but my CPU load was rarely above 20% when watching TV so that should not be a problem. I've also tried with a variety of CPUs, anything from a Sempron 140 to a Phenom II. At the moment I'm in the process of setting up a testbed to do some more research later tonight when noone else wants to watch TV. I'm thinking of doing something like this: Long LANcable from my TV-server to a switch in test room, that switch is that connected to 3 computers - Gigabyte mITX H55+i3+HD5570 with 4 GB of memory - ASRock mATX 785G+Athlon X2 240e 4 GB of memory - Asus UL30A laptop Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset +Intel u7300 with 4GB of memory All will be using the Microsoft codecs Then I plan to have them all running the same TV-channel for a while and compare the number of dropped frames.
