Re: Decode hi10p using your gpu

Soon, a tutorial explaining how to enable dxva (using your gpu instead
of your cpu) to watch videos; an addition to decode hi10p, and a
comparison, maybe including cuda specifically for nvidia graphic cards :)



the best tutorials are:


for plain DXVA

for a really short way of getting it configured, easiest tutorial yet - in spanish though, but you can follow the screenshots

and the best possible performance on new nvidia cards, I tested it out without the core avc software and worked great, but it's long!

And while you're at it, consider putting some votes in for Miss Costa Rica. I don't think we've had such a strong candidate in years! I'm proud that Costa Rica women's beauty is well represented, although my wife is of course, much prettier :)



She even appears 3 times! in the bikini video :)
