Hardware Decoding of H.264 and VC-1 in Vista Media Center and Windows Media Player 11
Published January 11, 2009 Hardware Decoding 2 CommentsI found out that you can play your movies that are encoded in Media center using MPC Decoder
it realy works, Vista Media Center and Windows Media player 11 uses Enhanced Video Decoder (EVR) and it supports DXVA2, now with this you can hardware decode VC-1 and H.264
you want proof?
notice the ehshell.exe cpu usage and low cpu usage
