Sadly not. It looks like an ATI problem and not an Xbmc issue. Tried 2 UVD2.0 cards which should be compatible (igp hd4200 and 4890 discrete) and both have the same issues on different mobo's within xbmc and mpchc. Nvidia gt220 came today. Will post update later.

Just wanted to say thanks for this, I was testing this feature out earlier and watching planet earth in 1080p my CPU usage is consistently 5-10% when it used to be closer to 80 or 90%. This is with a ATI 4670. Awesome!

Will post update later.Given that both myself and others are using ATI cards (in my case a 5450) - though perhaps not the same models would discount them from the equation, I would have thought.
Good luck with the new card.

Installed the Nvidia GT220 today. First used the Nvidia driver to compensate overscan. The Nvidia driver does this by 'generating' a custom resolution (in my case 1900x1038). Then installed latest svn and fired up XBMC. Another problem with VC1 occured. Stuttering...
Then in XBMC selected default resolution 1920x1080 and used XBMC's alignment tool to compensate overscan and problem was gone. Just a little bit of framedrop left. After setting XBMC to use Pixel Shader instead of Software rendering also the frame drops were gone. Only at the beginning of a movie about 30 frames are dropped but this has probably has something to do with refreshrate adjustment.
Possibly the ATI cards suffered the same problem. I had underscan on my ATI card and used the driver to compensate this. Though the ATI driver does not use custom resolution and it was underscan instead of overscan (underscan can not be compensated with XBMC's alignment) maybe that was the issue with ATI too.
Edit:
Tested some more and still not working quite well. See screenshots. First screenshot displays judder and second one is fine. Maybe it has something to do with resolution (
) Both are VC1 and play smooth (no stuttering).
Setup is with the GT220 and Windows 7 x64. Also when I enable the option in system -> Video Output "use windowed full screen instead of real fullscreen" video starts to stutter again.

VC1 is known to be juddery with digital output. Somebody mentioned that switching from digital output to analog output while playing in osd removes the judder.

Unfortunately not for me
Just tried it and didn't help a thing. Going to try the live version now see of the same problem occurs.

Hi,
I am searching for the setting to upmix stereo music to all speakers, but cannot find it in the settings. Has this option been removed, or where does it hide?

It's in the audio/subtitles-settings dialog while playing a movie.

Removed since it didn't work on anything but Xbox for the time being.

I've been away for a while so I downloaded one of the new nightlies for 10.5 and turned on DXVA2 and everything is working perfectly on my Acer Revo 3610. I can play Blu-ray rips and home movies from a Hi-Def Camcorder. Neither would play without significant stuttering before.
Thanks so much for all of the fantastic work.

I gave up on DXVA for now. Bought myself an AMD Phenom II X2 555 and overclocked it to 3,6Ghz. No problems now with CPU decoding.

Been looking around.. where can the latest nightlies be found?

Is it planned for the release build to support DXVA on the Intel G45 chipset?
