DirectShowSource using Cyberlink AVC/H.264 Decoder with DXVA HA?

[moviefan]

Hi guys,

can anybody tell me how to check whether the decoding of H.264 content using the Cyberlink AVC/H.264 decoder (grf created and loaded using DirectShowSource) is hardware accelerated? I tried the same using the MPC-HC standalone filters, but that didn't work. Now I tried with the above mentioned decoder and I get at least a picture, but I'm not sure whether it's hardware accelerated or not.

Regards,

i think the popular choice is to be running GPU-Z and keep an eye on the sensors tab and see if the numbers fluctuate.

With my graphics card I just need to listen for the jet engine (aka "fan") to decide whether the GPU is under load or not :D

Except it's not the GPU itself doing the work, so heat isn't likely to change much.
The best way would probably be to keep an eye on the PCI-E bandwidth.

The Decoder has to be connected to a DXVA supporting renderer directly so i doub't DXVA is working it's rather useless to try it as the renderer gets never directly involved even just previewing it wouldn't work the Decoder would just switch into Software Decoding for both cases.
