just tried the new evr but my hardware acceleration does not work with it comes up yuy2 underfinded renderer
purevideo (yes i know its probably outdated)

How would someone tell?
Martin
you open up the pure video control panel while playing
it tells you what is been used thats another reason i like pure video you can actually see whats going on
i did wonder about other decoders im not sure other than the cpu usgae will be higher than normal
Sorry I thought it was a general question, I don't use purevideo. EVR looks great though, I can finally enjoy hockey.
Marti
yeah it was a general question i was just saying how i could tell
what i want to know is what decoder you are using with it
i want to try it out but would prefer to use hardware acceleration otherwise whats the point in having a good video card
can you tell me what your cpu usage is like compared to what you used to use ie fse
I'm watching a hockey game right now ATSC 1080i no problems and when full screen it's about total 40% but I'm running other things too. I don't run -fse because you have to set it via config.exe now and I when it is running I think you are only getting VMR9 anyway.
Martin
you havent told me what decoder you are using?
yeah evr replaces fse /vmr
I had to check since I haven't seen the noticeable differences with the decoder with EVR that I saw with VMR9. For that test I was running the Vista included MPEG Decoder.
Martin
im thinkinmg it might be the fact that i am using old video drivers (the new ones are crap for my system)
i think the new evr requires the latest video drivers to use the acceleration(did a quick search)
If you are having trouble with EVR and are staying with VMR9 you might want to see see if setting <VMR9LockBackBuffer> helps. sub's got all the Direct Show tricks in this release.
