Fixing the 11ref frame limit bug in MPC-HC DXVA

[tetsuo55]

This thread is to discuss and hopefully fix the 11 ref frame limit bug in Media Player Classic Home Cinema which can be found here:

It's not exactly clear what causes the bug.
But we have a user that can use more than 11 ref frames his specs are:

Vista, Nvidia videocard, EVR output.

We know the bug occurs on every combination of settings except the one mentioned above.

I quote myself :
no. Casimir already knows what is the bug and it is not that : the algorithm which manage the release of the decoded pictures is not very good so with more than 10-11 refs the buffers are full and it hangs up.
it works with some configuration because they accept to use more than 16 picture buffers but it is a workaround not a fix, normally we can deal any h264 stream with 16 picture buffers.

Cool now we have the real technical problem in this thread :)
