Hi guys,
My graphics card has UVD and I've been playing 1080p stuff fine with the CPU pretty much idle. UVD is meant to be able to decode H264 and VC1 content by itself, so I figured it SHOULD be able to decode x264 content by itself, considering that x264 effectively outputs as H264. But when I play x264 I get erratic frame rates and audio out of sync.
Now, the annoying thing is that I have a Phenom, and with the codecs out there that utilise multi-core technology, I should have no problem playing back 1080p x264 via the CPU. But because the x264 is outputting as H264, the UVD automatically tries and fails to decode it. So I can't play x264!
Is there any way of getting x264 to play fine through UVD? Or, alternatively, is there any way of disabling UVD so I can just decode it with my CPU?
Thanks for any help.
