Yes ,very succesfully ;in fact even splash lite works very well ,BUT not with THAT card which hasn't got full DXVA support for H256/AVC. NVIDIA cards beginning with GForce 8xxx series and above(incl GT and GTX series) have full DXVA support for H264/AVC.

Edit: AFAIK only PowerDVD allows that cards(same for ATI X1xxx series) to accelerate some AVC content but with minimal results.

Now I see, I didn't even know there are 'full' or 'non full' DXVAs. (no matter what the non full means)
PowerDVD is not a solution for me, very expensive, slow and full of bugs. I turn HW acc. on and nothing happens. I want Splash.
But I see now came the time to 'invest' :) in new GPU.
Could you please reccomend me one will work DXVA in Splash?(under 70Euro?)

NVIDIA GT220 ,NVIDIA GT240, ATI HD4670, ATI HD 5570.
Try to find the fanless versions ,if available, for a silent playback ,and of course if you're not into gaming.

Note. For NVIDIA be careful with the latest drivers , buggy somehow on HD playback.

I don't usually use DXVA, but I do have an nVidia card so I'm curious.. :p

What bugs are there?

What bugs are there?

Very ugly brown bugs start eating the display begining from the right bottom corner.......

No ,my bad , I was thinking about MPC_HC and the EVR CP/DVD/Mpeg2 issue with 19x.xx drivers. Nothing shoud be wrong with Splash.

Please don't spread misinformation, and comparing the ATI DXVA bugs which is far worse and goes unfixed for months and years.

257.21 works fine now with EVR-CP and it's only 197.xx series drivers that were buggy, 196.21 and below also all worked fine without issues.

Calm down ;no wrong information spreaded here
I have ATI HD3650 and I've NEVER had any DXVA bugs with any driver(the L@5.1 profile limitation is not a bug).
BTW 257.21 drivers were relesed for fixing the DXVA issue ,isn't that so?
I was talking about the regular NVIDIA drivers and the only "misinformation" here it was that I related that bug with Spalsh player wich was wrong indeed.

About ATI drivers ,who's spreading misinformation?

GF 6/7 series use PureVideo 1 Engine, which only supports partial acceleration, and more important NO INLOOP-DEBLOCKING!

I finally bought Palit GF GT240. not so expensive and 1% cpu on 1080i with splash video player on AVC, MPEG2 and VC1. Thank you all for help, I feel I made great choice.

but I have one more question, I found there are some more codecs supported on the card - DXVAchecker sais they produce NV12 output, so I gues they are video codecs.
But the numbers (guids) gives 0 results in google. As far as I know there isnt much more video codecs - only divx left.
the one with rgb output is maybe motion jpeg, but there are 2 more!!
Are there 1080i supporting codecs I never hear about??
AVC, MPEG2, VC1, divx, WMV, motion JPEG and.... ???

[marcello.marengi]

oh, and I forgot to comment the 'full of bugs'. I didnt mean the drivers or Splash player.
I mean powerDVD. I make some videos myself and it crushes somethimes while playback. I test the stream with VLC, KMplayer and Splash Lite and they just work, so I believe the stream is fine.

NV12 is an output colorspace, not a video codec.
