Interesting. Well this is a fresh XP SP3 install and I'm running an AMD 5200+ and my board has an integrated ATI 3200HD. I installed the Catalyst 8.5 drivers as suggested..

Hi,

I've got the same chipset and a similiar processor.
I'm using Catalyst 8.12 and have verified DXVA working with this driver (not working with 9.1 though).
Am I going to get problems with SAF and DXVA with 8.12?

That cpu usage sounds high. When I'm using DXVA on my p4 3ghz I get about 5% cpu usage with a 1080p mkv file. Hmm..

Appreciate ideas on what I might have done wrong but in any case I'm happy that 1080p MKV's are actually running now.

Though as I said the main issue at the moment is that I'm not sure what audio codecs to install as per my post (few above). Palleeese heulp! Bigggg badda boom.

If you have hight CPU usage, your MKV can be wrongly made (no DXVA compatible). Please post example.

The install does not detect my mediaportal installation correctly, is there a config file I can tweak to resolve this?

thanks

Hoborg should stop giving out this advice about 8.5- it is way too old and for 3200HD only 8.12 fixes the 2D browser lag problem. I advise you download 8.12 and use the ATi removal tool in Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs- restart then install.

    I made a little progress today - by switching the audio output rendering device to SoundMax HD instead of the Default DirectSound, I now can get audio. AVIs and MKVs play just fine. But with H.264 1080p material, it is not.

    The audio quality is very poor - 1) with AC3Filter (I know it is not a part of the SAF, but for S/PDIF, it is pretty good), the sound is out of sync and stutters; 2) with MPA Decoder, it drops out regularly so basically un-listenable. Since I have a old video card that does not support H.264 hardware decoding, my CPU usage is very high, could that have something to do with the stuttering and drop outs? For some reason, the AC3Filter is working better than the MPA Decoder in my present rig, does that provide any clue? Your comments and feedback are much appreciated.

    p.s. where are the graphedit screenshots stored? Can't seem to locate them after searching my hard drive...

    where are the graphedit screenshots stored? in your mouse :)
    paste to Adobe or Paintshop..

    Dude did you read my post....
    I recomend you to unistall evry last codex and filter
    install only SAF newst.. use the MPA Decoder, and set "direct show filter control to s/pdif" (in MP config)

    Installing HD4800 on Catalyst 8.5

    Hello all,

    I'm sure there is a way to install my HD4830 card with Catalyst 8.5 drivers to enable DXVA acceleration, but couldnt find it :oops: . OS is WinXP by the way.

    Can anyone help?
