Hi.

I'm waiting for new ATI HD 2000 series to upgrade my htpc system (should be avaible also in agp :D). Actualy I've a Prescott 3.0 ghz and Ati 9600 Pro. they are connected to a Panasonic Plasma 37PV60 via dvi/hdmi at 1216x684. Obvioulsy I use The KmPlayer , the best one :)
New ati have a lot of featues. the avivo hd and the dedicated unified video decoder (UVD) should be decode in hw the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/DivX and h-264/avc + avc1 stream (in some test with a hd 2400 card the cpu have a consumaption less then 5% with avc1 and less than 10% with vc-1 refer to a sempron 2800+ cpu so an entry level ones).
So do you plan compatibility with this new fantastic video cards. already have you tried something?
thanks a lot.

Read this. Probably it gives some light on you. :)
As it does not depend on the player, don't worry about the compatibility.

What u need is a decoder which can use the power of hd 2000(power dvd 7.3's h264 decoder as far as i know ).
kmp is a player,most built-in decoders are from licodec(ffmpeg),not able to turn on DXVA yet.U can just install pd 7.3's decoder and use it in kmp

I expect that for uvc compatibilty. kmp try to send avc1 or divx file to "avivo hd uvd" for decode. uvd should return a decoded image (yv12 for example) and kmp use it with kmp trasform filter for a postprocessing is necessary. I hope that.

Hmm, doesn't look like KMplayer can properly utilize hardware acceleration. With Cyberlink codecs and dxva on there are just green flashes. Utilizing the same filter chain in graphedit everything is fine. KMplayer is doing something else to prevent dxva using the 2400.
