I've adopted it over FFDshow's H.264 decoder now as I find it exactly the same quality image wise but frame stepping and fast forward resyncs video to audio faster than FFDshow's liba decoder.

vs:

(Dance Floor Movie 1080p trailer framegrab form MPC)

I prefer to have key decoders in one package but dislike CCCP and Klite codec packs etc as I like to hand pick which decoders I want for audio and video and after trying out DiVX 7 I'm happy to now completely untick H.264 decoding in FFDshow!

I've always favoured the DiVX decoder for playback of divx movies and now the divx hd decoder will be used for HD video decoding and also now, AAC audio decoding since it does that too so can uninstall CoreAAC.

:D
 
I wouldn't use the FFDshow's H.264 decoder anyway as it doesn't support hardware decoding, does this DIVX 7 one?
 
I would assume it does since it's going via DirectShow in Windows which uses graphics hardware acceleration?

In the HD options it also has multithreading enabled by default if that helps.

That would suggest that it doesn't then, although that might be an encoding option. What kind of cpu usage are you seeing with a 720p H.264?

How does this compare with the CoreAVC one then?

By being free, I can't see it having better image quality or worse for that matter since it's no different to FFDshow which borrows elements from CoreAVC as a fast HD decoder.

At work ATM so on my Vista32 3gb laptop with Core2 Duo T5800 2Ghz and intel laptop GFX I see a CPU usage of 36%

I'll post back with my home PC (Q6600, GTX260, Vista64) cpu usage in about 2hrs time!
 
Mainconcept decoder does support dvxa hardware acceleration and im guessing the divx codec is just a renamed mainconcept codec since its owned by divx now. Wouldnt have made sense to build it from scratch.
 
No problem!

I've not found any bugs with it yet either so all looks good :)
