Video playback on a netbook
lapa321:
Here's Sora no Woto 720p running at 40% CPU.
Most anime here isn't coded to spec like that one tho, so i keep ending up with the Haruhi Suzumiya Video i posted. I'm still trying to find a way to get it to work!

lapa321: Just stick with Media Player Classic Homecinema and the DivX H.264 Video Decoding filter. Is it lagging when you use that?
Also, try different video/GPU drivers if you still want to get DXVA working properly.

That's how it's setup at the moment, but it's using almost all of my CPU.
As you can see from the screenie, i have two monitors, i was hoping to be able to leave it running in one while i work on the other.

Using about half your CPU? At least it doesn't seem as bad as it could be.
As above, try the latest ATi video/GPU drivers if you still want to get DXVA working properly.
Also, in MPC-HC you can press '1' to get borderless video and you can press ALT + 1-3 to get different sized video.
edit: not sure where you can get such drivers. you might need to mod them for the netbook.

Actually, someone mentioned that 10.2+ drivers for DXVA are broken so i uninstalled my current 10.4's and installed 10.1's.
1080p on a 22" broke (Still decodes regular h264's fast, if not faster, but i now have to lower my 22" resolution to keep the 1080p Iron Man video from slowing down), but artifacting for most of the videos are fixed. CPU usage dropped from 30's down to 20's. The Haruhi suzumiya video is now 15-20%, but goes up to 50% when subtitles are enabled. Summer Wars 1080p won't play at all now.
This is on the u230 netbook.
D*mn, nVidia still has a legup on ATI on software support :-\
