Hi there, i have started gettin a lot more high def films lately 720p, 1080p etc. and i am still using vlc to watch them. Was just wondering if there are any better programs more optimised for high quality video that give better images?
 
media player home cinema I believe has decent codecs built in which can use the gpu although I use just k-lite with wmp11 as I have a range of different codecs to support :(.

Tried div-x 7 which is pretty good but conflicted with k-lite and didn't like my mkv's too much.

corevideo is supposedly the best h264 decoder which isn't gpu accelerated but I'm happy with my k-lite. I can play 720p happily enough on a stock x2 at 2.4GHz (opty 175)
 
I've just been using Vista Codec Pack + x64 components and Vista Media Centre on my laptop.

I don't see the problem with just using VLC for regular playback though :confused:
 
In Media Player classic you need to enable EVR mode if you use Vista to get GPU decoding in hardware.

I noticed slight artefacts using gpu mode though so just use divx-hd codec which uses the cpu but I have 4 cores so don't care about cpu usage :p
 
i can see a slight difference between media player classic and vlc.

Yes i have enabled EVR although i doubt playback is hinderd by the cpu!
