How can you?
Originally posted by bwat47 View PostIt works with 2xxx cards and above in windows. I can use dxva on my laptops hd2600 with media player classic and player 1080p video fine on my measly 2ghz core2 duo with under 10% cpu usage.
You can?! You must have a lot of luck!
Which Catalyst Mobility version are you using on Windows?
All latest Catalyst's I've installed in my Windows 7 don't work with UVD acceleration (at least with WMP12/VLC). I can only enable it ATM with Catalyst 10.7 + Xorg 1.8.2 + Arch Linux + mplayer-vaapi...
On Windows, VLC gives a "dxva_create_surface()" error after detecting my card has UVD DxVA support...
With WMP12, I even checked the DxVA settings of k-lite codec pack and everything should be working properly out-of-box, unless those DxVA features are only valid for MPC-HC...? =S
Cheers

The windows drivers definitely have video decode acceleration. It's been supports since the rage128 days. The video player you are using has to utilize DXVA to take advantage of it.
rage128-r5xx, r600 - mpeg1/2 support (3D engine)
rv550 - mpeg1/2, HD (UVD1)
rv6xx - mpeg1/2, HD (UVD1)
rv7xx, rs780/rs880, evergreen - mpeg1/2, HD (UVD2)
northern islands - mpeg1/2, HD, etc. (UVD3)
