Not sure if this is the best forum to post, so I'd be glad to be directed elsewhere, but I'm hoping someone here can help. I've upgraded to Windows 7 recently. My system is an AMD X2 5400+ paired with ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+ 780G (on board Radeon 3200HD) and 2GB ram. I cannot get MPC-HC to work properly in EVR Custom Pres. **, which I believe means hardware acceleration and thus DXVA is not enabled. Whenever I select EVR Custom, the video becomes choppy, slow, and laggy, however, selecting the "System Default" DirectShow Video Output works much better, but of course that means DXVA is disabled. For the majority of my video files, the default output is fine. Though I'd like to be utilizing the GPU for various reasons (temperature, save CPU, fan speed, etc). The problem comes when I try to play 1080p files. Luckily I don't have many of them. Take for example the 1080p Quantum of Solace trailer. The video plays slower than the audio, so they loose sync and video is possibly dropping frames. CPU stays around 70-80%.
XP on the same system can play the 1080p files fine (though I remember I had to tweak a lot to get them to work. I believe I was using CCCP and enabled hardware acceleration in ffdshow somehow)
On Win7, I don't have any codec packs or anything installed besides Gabests Matroska Splitters. Any idea why EVR Custom produces worse results on my set up? Any suggestions on how to get DXVA working?
