When I did that it started working. That codec disables hardware acceleration and uses software. Doesn't help with HS. Personally, I'm a huge fan of HW acceleration. It's the only reason your smartphone or set top box can play HDTV h264 video. Their CPU doesn't have enough power. What about DX games? Will they work with CRT 2.0 drivers?
I think the root cause is the driver. There's something in them that turns off DX hardware acceleration which doesn't happen with Unmodified drivers standard Windows driver. I tried with 2 different video cards and same problem.
I wonder if anyone else (except Calamity) got hw acceleration to work with 2.0?
JoeB:
I got an idea. Why don't we use a tool to compare the DXVA settings and compare?

It generates a lot of information. Anyone care to focus on a specific line / test we can use to verify?
Here's my main window:

Calamity, would would recommend is the best GPU to get? 5 or 6 series and for what reason?

Based on my reading, I thing the 6 series is best, because you can run groovymame in non-administrative mode and it will switch res on you. For lower cards, you need command prompt in admin mode / reduce security of system if you want it automated.

Uninstalled CRT 2.0, and installed the drivers from Asus. DXVA checker now reports:
ASUS EAH6450 (Caicos Pro Refresh)
MPEG2_VLD: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
MPEG2_IDCT: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
MPEG2_A: DXVA1, SD / HD / FHD
MPEG2_C: DXVA1, SD / HD / FHD
H264_VLD_NoFGT: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
H264_VLD_NoFGT_Flash: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
6719B6FB-5CAD-4ACB-B00A-F3BFDEC38727: DXVA2
VC1_VLD: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
CA15D19A-2B48-43D6-979E-7A6E9C802FF8: DXVA2
MPEG4pt2_VLD_AdvSimple_Avivo: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
MPEG4pt2_VLD_AdvSimple_NoGMC: DXVA2, SD / HD / FHD
Note the last 2 lines. They are new. All MP4 videos play fine.
Also, I know why "generic video adapter" works as well. According to DXVA Checker and DXDIAG, there is no hardware acceleration available. All empty. All software. :)
Does all this help??
