Media Player Classic Home Theator EVA/AVIVO Question!

[toothy]

ok, i spent ages looking for a AVIVO solution for x264's, no program was having any of it. Cyberlink h264 avi decoder wasnt even working.

Then i found MPC-HT with EVA and x264 DXVA support! and i finally got it all working.

I just played a XVID, and realised it was also working through AVIVO! but DXVA is turned off for xvid as shown in properties, yet it was still working! and I just cant understand why. Obviously its a good thing it was working but i REALLLLY want to know why.

Can any one explain?

Thanks

try using KM media player

If it is now working this suggests that either something is turning the DXVA hardware decoding on or, more likely, that installing MPC-HT has set up the codecs to perform software decoding.

The end user software (in this case MPC-HT) doesn't care how the data stream gets decoded as long as it gets decoded.

If you want a basic idea of what's going on, try using Gspot. You should be able to work out how your xvid clips are being decoded.
For a more comprehensive picture, you can use GraphEdit, but it is a lot harder to use.
You can get them both with the Klite Codec Pack
