Hey All,
I'm a conquered Zoom Player user. I absolutely love this soft.
However i noticed the following:

If i use MPC to play a DVD movie, and add external subs using MPC, DXVA is enabled.

However if i use Zoom Player to play the same movie while inserting vobsub into the graph, then nvidia purevideo dvd video decoder falls back to software mode.

My ultimate goal is to achieve this in ZPlayer, ie: be able to play a DVD while loading external subs AND keeping dxva active (not that it's a cpu problem, but pixel adaptive deinterlacing is much better than software imho)

So my question is, how is the built-in MPC subtitle engine different from the standalone VSfilter codec regarding DXVA ?

Thanks for any info.
See you,

TSR

I think MPC renders the subs in hardware and vobsub merges the subs to the picture. for the mpc subs renderer it must be compatible with the renderer, renderers like VMR renderless, EVR custom presenter and haali, with others like overlay mixer it will not display the subs.

Yeah, I always use VMR9 so that's good.
So if i understood it right, Zoom Player would need its own subtitle engine to achieve dxva when playing a dvd + external subs, ie: it's not possible with VSfilter at all..
Ok, thanks Kado, guess I need to request this on the Zoom Player forums..
See you,
