Is there any way to set my .ts files to decode with cyberlink h264 and all other avc files with coreavc. Since most of my mkv files won't work with dxva i have to sit there and change settings just to get them to play....And then change all the settings back to play my ts files with dxva.
Any suggestions?
You shouldn't have to change any settings. CoreAVC supports dxva automatically, and should disable it automatically if given an unsupporting source.

I thought coreavc only did cuda. All I know is when I use coreavc(with cuda enabled) my frame rate is about 25-30fps and when I use cyberlink h264(with dxva enabled) my frame rate is 50-60fps and jitter = 0.

You thought right. CoreAVC doesn't support DXVA.
Thank you for replying.

The built in MPC Video Decoder is one of the best things about the product. It uses DXVA when it can and automatically falls back to software decoding when it cannot. It may be a little slower than CoreAVC in software mode but most of the time that should not matter.

When I disabled both coreavc and cyberlink it brought up ffdshow which looks like crap and stutters. When I disabled ffdshow it won't play my ts files....it says pins missing or something.
Cyberlink with dxva enabled looks phenomenal! Thats why I use it.

MPC-HC does not need an external filter at all to play AVC. If possible it will use DXVA, if not software decoding. DXVA quality is essentially identical to Cyberlink as basically all both do is pass the stream to the GPU for decoding and display.
You need to obey the following to get DXVA decoding:
