MCHC Question and 1080p

JrRacinFan · Jan 18, 2009, 07:56 PM

OK guys is this the best I can get for GPU acceleration of MKV and Xvid AVI movies?

What I am trying to do is put most of the load on the gpu vs my cpu.

I have no idea. Try to look in cc for options.

JrRacinFan · Jan 18, 2009, 10:59 PM

Already checked, only thing that was found is color and gamma settings. Hmmm...

Any other thoughts guys?

OK after much discussion with another member I have figured try giving VLC a shot ....

There are my results and they are very similar. Any other ideas?

the *only* program that provides acceleration for MKV files is VLC. YOu need it in direct3D mode, and enable the hardware acceleration options. This is only partial acceleration - it halved my CPU usage which is better than nothing, but real acceleration is 0% CPU usage.

Problem is, VLC cant handle digital audio atm - so if you use digital outputs, you're screwed.

That's what I thought, but also not using the onboard sound rather the video cards HDMI sound you would think GPU acceleration would be greater.

Surprised though Mussells that I got it to work that well with MCHC?

Yeah doing so as we speak. I tried searching for it but forgot the title.

EDIT:
Trying not to double post-

With your help Mussells I did obtain this:

but with much better sound, Thank you!
