AMD Fusion and DXVA
#1
I'm using this gigabyte mobo in my HTPC

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product...id=3681#ov

On board Radeaon HD 6310
Windows 7 64 bit ultimate
8 GB ram
XBMC 33619 with dsplayer
ffdshow 3721_20110107_clsid

Things I've done that I think are correct:

ffdshow - hardware acceleration selected for H264 and VC-1

mediasconfig.xml reads:

<rule filetypes="mkv">
<source filter="mkvsource" />
<splitter filter="mkvsplitter" />
<video>
<video dxva="true" filter="ffdvideodec" />
<video filter="ffdvideodec" />
</video>
<audio filter="ffdaudiodec" />
</rule>

and I have selected "allow hardware acceleration" in XBMC settings

I used pavtube bytecopy to rip Start Trek. the H264 video stutters when played. my CPU usage is 70-90%.

additionally the renderer stats says XBMC is not using DXVA.

I don't know how to get it DXVA to work.

I read discussions about h264 not being accelerated during XBMC development. I thought that this had been fixed though. Is this that problem or something else?

Thank you,

try using the 10.0 release - not dsplayer - which is not supported and no longer developed.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Yeah, download the 10.0 "Dharma" release and don't forget to activate the DXVA2 decoding in the options.

You need to use either the MPC-HC video decoder or ffdshow DXVA (not the normal ffdshow decoder) if you want hardware decoding on the GPU with DS Player. Or use the normal 10.0 release, but you loose the ability to bitstream HD audio that way.
