I tried this build just for the ffmpeg-mt aspect, since MPC-HC using ffdhow with ffmpeg-mt as the decoder plays back all my movies flawlessly, no hardware acceleration needed, while XBMC's player is hopeless with software and drops frames even with DXVA. I need to run in not "true" fullscreen because I can't stand when I get dumped to desktop if something happens on my PC (a message from a program, etc).
Anyway, this doesn't work well for me. The same movies that play with MPC/ffmpeg-mt at 50% or less CPU usage, max out with this and it's a steady stream of dropped frames. Could be that whatever else is going on in the current ffmpeg is too intense for my processor? I suppose I could update MPC to use the latest version and see how that compares.
