But according to the pictures at the URL in your signature ( <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ) you're using the Gigabyte 780G-board. Maximum shared memory is 512 megabytes. Why? Well, if yo're using DXVA it means that your onboard graphics card will do the decoding rather than your processor. And well, the more memory that's available to that onboard graphics card, the better, right? More memory available for the decoding means better decoding.. or well, that's what one could conclude from Hoborg's advise. I myself am not sure about that, because I doubt if you will really see any difference between 256 or 512 megabyte of video memory. It also depends on how much memory you have available in your system. If you have 1 gigabyte of RAM it won't be a good idea to give half of that to your IGP (Integrated Graphics Processor), but if you have 4 gigabyte.. why not. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> I myself gave up on using the full SAF-package by the way. No offence intended, it's a great package but it doesn't seem to like my setup: 780G, Vista 32-bit, clean install with only Haali and SAF > wouldn't play half the MKV's. Also I can't use MPC-HC for HD LiveTV which is a problem for me (using HD LiveTV), so I'd need another HD-codec anyway. Actually I'm also having a problem with PDVD8 HD-codec so I'm using CoreAVC for HD at the moment. Not that great, but it's a HTPC for in the living room and I took it away for a few days to convert to Mediaportal-1.0 Final and it needs to be up and running again in a day, so I'll try it again in a few months.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
