Im not sure whats really going on here - I have an Nvidia GTX 660m, its even overclocked to 1Ghz. I have plenty of system memory and a core i7 -- so i barely notice its not on, until I checked the information under settings.

it doesnt matter if its x264, h256, or mp4 or mkv or what -- EVERY video shows up as MPEG-4 AVC, DXVA (Not in Use)

it says DXVA is available, but always not in use, even though hardware acceleration is ticked on.

I've beem hunting around Nvidia settings -- nothing, I cant find any settings that are related, purevideo hardware is enabled. I have CCCP for other media players, but that shouldn't affect cyberlink powerdvd 15 -- and it supports hardware acceleration just fine. VLC uses it too!

anyone know why its doing this, and possibly how to force it to use hardware acceleration on my system? while its not necessary, I kind of feel video quality might improve, and i could offload the work from my processor some more if it was -- I will say, my GPU DOES take some load, but my CPU goes up in use to about 6-10% too (its 3Ghz tops quad core). I feel almost all this could be done in GPU if DXVA was on.

again My video card is Nvidia GTX 660m

thanks
