Getting hardware acceleration to work for BBC HD?

[chrisgeller]

Hi

 

I'm trying to get this to work!

 

My system is a P4 3.0GHz, running Windows XP. I've got an up-to-date version of DVBViewer. I have an ATI Radeon X300 with the Catalyst Driver 7.8.

 

When I try to run BBC HD it glitches really badly; and is unwatchable.

 

To try to get hardware acceleration to work I've

 

- Installed Cyberlink 8, and ticked 'Enable Hardware acceleration' in it's settings.

- Selected the Cyberlink H264 codec in DVBViewer

- Ticked the 'Use Nvidia fix' box

- Unticked the 'Use first CPU' box.

 

It hasn't changed anything so I suspect I haven't really enabled it.

 

Is there something I need to do with 'DVXA' - I'm not too sure what that is!

Have you tried Catalyst 8.6 drivers?

 

Under Windows XP hardware acceleration is only supported by Overlay and VMR7/9 renderers.

 

To check if DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) is working go to View menu and choose Filters, the active H.264 decoder will be listed, click on it for info about if DXVA is being used.

X300 doesn't really support H.264 decoding. I tried Nvidia 8500GT, but it had some issues sadly. Switched to the HD3650 and it works pretty well with cyberlink decoder.
