Fantastatic news, I've been waiting for this for many, many months
I wonder how it works on slightly older laptops; presumably, it requires CUDA given the NVIDIA preference.
Yep, just tried the 'use GPU acceleration (experimental)' option, and my Quad-core Q6600 and Radeon 3870 was no longer quick enough to decode full 1080p video
One quick untick, and a restart later, and all was well again.
Oh well, another win for nvidia.

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
wow, 2010, and hardware acceleration has arrived. But only if your on an nVidia card... oh.
throw new ArgumentException (String, String, Exception)
this (effectively)*I'll stick with MPC Home Cinema and DXVA, works with all modern graphics cards
*MediaPortal with SAF, which is based on MPC-HC
ati card here to so not even bothering to try
our boiler broke so we has no heating or hot water, this is the bloody result ^^
Working lovely on my 9800GT. Tried a few 1080p files that always used to bring it to it's knee's. All played perfectly. Nice update IMO. MPC is still a big contender, I use both, neither is flawless in my experience.
Here's a crazy idea, use standards. Code once, run everywhere.Extending its frustration to others in the industry, VideoLAN also comments on the hardware best suited for GPU-acceleration by stating that it is "quite sad to be forced to recommend NVIDIA GPU, until ATI fixes their drivers on Windows, and until VLC developer get access to some Intel hardware supporting GPU decoding".
I have a Core 2 Quad Q9450 @ 3.2GHz. I don't really have a need for GPU acceleration.
Was about to come on here and say "Can someone explain to me, who has not used VLC before, why I should?"
When I saw 99x's post, and can add +1 to that.
When I'm not using MediaBrowser over VMC, with standard windows codec for MPEG2 playback, and coreavc as default for all others.
My HTPC: Linky
I have a Sempron 140 which plays back 1080HD fine, with GPU acceleration in the form of the 4200IGP - hardware acceleration has its place, and it does its job well.

Was thinking this is pretty cool, till I saw Nvidia only.
So I'll skip this and hope some ATI support comes out soon.
Or just use MPC as mentioned ?

Is MPC any good comared to VLC - One thing I miss from VLC is library fuctions.
