It's possible to use the MPC-HC video codec (or any other DXVA codec for that matter). Also, with the MPC-HC subtitle engine patch it's the only mediacenter-software which enables subtitle support with DXVA enabled in the internal player, since MPC-HC is the only player that can do that.
But XBMC uses a much different approach, you can't use any custom codecs etc. XBMC for Windows would be so awesome if it had codec-customization, it would blow everything away. Maybe someday a developer wants to implent it. Or maybe if we're lucky ffmpeg will be majorly updated.
