[QUOTE="jo16v, post: 323834, member: 81927"] I totally agree with your post- I have been unable to get any hardware acceleration inside MediaPortal so I have MPC-HC set as an external player which plays just about all (properly encoded) HD formats with acceleration - i.e. h.264 and VC-1 interlaced and progressive. I did a little testing with PDVD versions and builds and I couldn't get VC-1 acceleration working even on the latest builds- apparently it last worked on 8.3 Catalyst and old F3 BIOS - [URL="http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/thedarkknight/trailer_3/DKTRL3_1080.wmv.zip"]here's a VC-1 file that you can use to test whether yours is working or not.[/URL] For TV I am testing the latest builds of FFdshow which now support h.264 TV so there is now a free alternative to Core AVC to consider- download the latest builds [URL="http://ffdshow-tryout.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ffdshow-tryout/branches/?view=log"]from here[/URL], some discussion [URL="http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120465&highlight=FFDSHOW&page=246"]here[/URL]. You need to select "skip deblocking when safe" in ffdshow h.264 options and deinterlace (linear blending) if you have interlaced TV (i.e. 576i, 1080i). As ffmpeg is the basis of the MPC video decoder it is hoped that the same changes made to ffdshow will be implemented to MPC eventually creating a non commercial alternative to PDVD for accelerated TV.:) [/QUOTE]
