I experienced that. Still am and will continue to unfortunately. Its not VLCs fault since they are awesome, i bet they tried. Maybe nvidia went out after them and send some development kits.
 
Excellent! Will test it out with some large 1080P video files after I update.
 
Shame, but from my experience 1080p video isn't that demanding, it worked fine for me at around 1.9GHz and 2GB 667MHz DDR2. Though I don't see why you would have a Full HD monitor with the intention of watching 1080p and not have a system up to the task.

Didnt work in my 8800GT, was getting 70% usage of CPU in avatar MKV
 
Media Player Classic uses GPU decoding and it works just fine with ATI cards. I haven't used MPC in a long time, I had some ugly codec issues with it before. But I just downloaded the latest version and it played 1080p perfectly and did have GPU acceleration.


Apparently on twitter Terry M said there will be an update for VLC in the drivers. But it's ATI, it may take three updates to work correctly.
