I just compiled the very latest SVN and WOW, DVDPlayer DXVA works almost flawlessly. The only issue I have run into is a green screen with MP4s containing H264 and AAC audio (which elupus stated was a problem in the TRAC). The cool thing is the scalars, smoothvideo, and subtitles work with it. Now we have two choices for DXVA (DVDPlayer or DSPlayer)! You guys are awesome!

Is it correct that this provides DXVA2 support, not DXVA1, and therefore requires DX10, not DX9?

If so: is it correct that installing DX10 on Windows XP (which seems to be possible) would make DXVA2 support available on Windows XP, and therefore provide h/w accelerated video and working subtitles on Windows XP?

Nice work!

comments:

- Don't link staticly with DXVA2 since you will get "DLL not found" under XP systems.
- Its better to use a render target texture that to render to the back buffer.

DXVA2 need DX9, not DX10. You can't run on XP since it requires a different driver architecture.

Can't get it to work on my set-up (Vista X86). DXVA partial success with some files - others have a mixture of green pixelation, solid green line along the top inch (approx) - all are x264 encodes in mkv containers.

Those that playback flawlessly - do just that and I have seldom witnessed cpu load at anything over 5% on 1080p encodes - ATI HD4670. Full subtitle playback as well.

I know that elupus mentioned on TRAC that "Decoder is not enabled by default as it still has issues." - but Auto Detect dosen't function either.

Superb work so far.
