Can someone Tell me if it is possible to force hardware decode of all content i.e standard definition xvid, divx as well as hd?
Thanks

The problem is that hw decoders may not take all formats. If it can't handle a format, it falls back to software decoding.

The card supports it, but the card drivers do not.

Correction, the card (bmc70015 only), lib and driver support the 'spec', however I have found that xvid and divx are encoded by lots of crappy encoders which do all sorts of strange and bazar things that I have disabled them from being decoded by crystalhd. Only ffmpeg seems to be flexible and forgiving enough to handle this garbage.
