I'm not getting this working here.
System: AMD Phenom 9850, 4GB DDR2, ATI HD4200 IGP
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
No codec's installed, Ati CCC 10.7, xbmc-r32268-Dharma.exe, DXVA enabled.
h264 is working great, no problems, low cpu (1-5%) but playing vc1 is a nightmare. Either I get a green rash on my screen or playback stutters. This differs which vc1 file i use. When trying older drivers my sytem has a BSOD or just a black screen. Are there others out there having the same issues? Im going to try x86 tomorrow, maybe that makes a difference.

Has anyone actually done a power usage comparison between using DXVA and software? Cause with CUDA there is virtually no difference, I think only 'proper' hardware like the CrystalHD will save power. My popcorn hour can decode 48mbit 1080p material without breaking 10 watts.

I really don't know. Did a fresh install, latest drivers, tried x86 instead of x64 done it all.
EDIT: a friend of mine is bringing his HD5550 over tomorrow. Will test what it does and report back.

have the same problem with vc-1 ... system is a amd 6000+ (2x 3 ghz) and a nvidia 8600gts....h.264 works fine, but vc-1 is not gpu encoded and and the cpu works at 70% on 1080p
