[QUOTE="Liquidtouch, post: 614765, member: 47063"] Well to be honest to play H.264 HD content you have a couple problems. First your Athalon processor is a bit slow to decode HD video without help from a video card. The second issue is I am pretty sure Nvidia cards supporting DXVA started with the 7xxx series. DXVA stands for Direct X video acceleration and basiclly means the video card is capable of helping decode the video. Without DXVA support and using your exisiting hardware you best bet if anything is possible would be to try CoreAVC as your H.264 codec. I had the same videocard as you but with an Athalon 3200+ and could barely play HD and it was dependant on the source file. In the end I eventually upgraded my HTPC. It was cheaper for me to get a new MoBo with onboard video and sound plus a faster processor than it would have been to upgrade the videocard and processor in the old one. Was the stuttering content 1080 or 720? [/QUOTE]
