Finally with the latest build it is working. DTS MA is finally a reality for me. Thanks men.
On a side note, it seems the video is a little softer than before. I haven't tweeked anything yet for video, just excited to get HD Audio and everything (well almost, one David Gilmour .mkv not working). Can someone give me a little help as to which settings under FFDshow are going to give me the biggest improvement in picture quality so I can start messing around with them.

So do I need to resize the image in FFdshow if I already have 1920x1080 selected in XBMC and in my ATI settings? Will this yield any difference in pic quality. I remember I did this back in the old HTPC days, but this was before 1080p BluRay. Any FFdshow gurus out there to help with this answer.
Thanks as always

Myself, i have used it to upscale eveything to 1080p, with great results, however, I have to say the new lav filters do as good a job (to my eyes, and if you have an nvidia card).

However, still a little confused. Does this REPLACE FFdshow? Will it NOT work as well with ATI? Thanks

Can you post a fresh full debug log from the latest build. Let's see if we can't figure this one out!
I know dsplayer wasn't finished, however it was mostly there in terms of playback. You shouldn't be having problems like this!
Post the debug log on pastebin and lets go from there. I'm sure i'll have more questions later!
Cheers

Okay, quick recap: I need to use software rendering because while my projector is fed from Nvidia, my tv is fed from the onboard Intel. I'm using a rip of Aliens bluray as my test, since it's 1080p full-frame with loads of grain and a high bitrate.
With this latest build, playing it with DSPlayer, using Haali, AC3Filter, ffdshow (ffmpeg-mt build from last year), and EVR renderer, playback drops frames constantly, there is tearing, and CPU shows as 80-90% on the particular scene I'm using. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/d749sfZe
With the same build, playing it with MPC-HC as my external player, also using Haali, AC3Filter, ffdshow, and EVR, playback is perfectly smooth with no tearing, CPU shows as 60-70%. Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/auv2z1db
I should note that I've played other movies with MPC-HC that showed as 90+% cpu usage and still had perfect performance. I have never seen any tearing or framedropping with 1080p content with MPC-HC -- entirely software, I have never used DXVA or Cuda -- and I've watched hundreds of movies and hdtv episodes.
