Hey all, just building my first HTPC, its based on the nvidia 8200 chipset and supports hardware decoding of AVC/H.264 video. I also have a denon avr-1909 av amp. Basically could any help me with a few questions. What mediaplayer software supports hardware decoding mkv files containing avc/h264? (would be nice to get subititles too) 2. What mediaplayer software supports passing lpcm 7.1 audio? Ive looked at mediaportal, xbmc etc.

1. Coreavc

Coreavc

CoreCodec/H.264 Codec 'CoreAVC' MPEG-4 AVC / H.264. CoreAVC allows you to directly offload video decoding with either NVIDIA CUDA. ATI with Microsoft's DirectX. I've been using CoreAVC for h.264 support for the longest time. Its work beautifully even on single core machines with slightly less than 1GB of RAM. High performance encoder H.264/AVC on NVIDIA CUDA. H264 CUDA Encoder. CUDA optimized encoder h264. CUDA H264 SDK. Fast H264 video compression on CUDA. H.264 codec for.

But cant find any concrete evidence of the support im after HTPC: XFX 8200 motherboard AMD Athlon 64 X2 5050e 2gb memory cheers. MPC-HC (media player home cinema) will support hardware decoding, but only of DXVA compliant sources (blu-ray, hd-dvd, certain ripped content depending on its encoding settings). You can install the standalone video decoder filter from MPC-HC and select that codec in mediaportal to get the same result.

XBMC does not support hardware playback without playing back with an external player as far as i know as it uses its own codecs. You can use coreavc with CUDA acceleration (need fairly recent drivers) to hardware assist decoding of all h264 content. It doesn't offload as much processing to the gpu as DXVA but has the added bonus of working on lots more sources. I've found that CUDA only gives me decent playback if i set my refresh rate to 24hz however. Coreavc can be used with MPC-HC, mediaportal, windows media player, windows media centre etc etc.

Installing the cyberlink h264 codec will give you the same functionality as the MPC-HC decoder, but again only for DXVA compliant sources. At the moment i'm using coreavc with zoomplayer or mediaportal with cuda acceleration enabled. I've got a pretty close match system wise for you and your CPU shouldn't have any trouble using non-hardware playback, but of course you might want it to keep those cpu fans quiet like i did Hope that helps somewhat.

I am assuming here you are talking about decoding TrueHD and DTS-HD MA signals. FFDShow can do TrueHD and will output this as 7.1 LPCM if your windows speaker settings are set to 7.1 and your hardware is able to output LPCM but there is no decoder available for DTS-HD MA (all DTS-HD MA streams contain a standard DTS stream which will be output). These audio formats are fairly new and even more problematic in that if you put a TrueHD stream into an MKV file then Haali will not recognise it so you won't be able to pass it to FFDShow to decode anyway if you are using Haali as a splitter.
