I came across an interesting blog post explaining how to setup Vista Media Center for playback of MKV with true hardware acceleration (so long as you have the necessary hardware) using filters from Media Player Classic Home Cinema. I have not tried this myself and I probably won’t do much playing around with it as it appears the fatal flaw is subtitle support. However, that alone may be reason enough for me to give it a run – just so I can find a way to support subtitles (whether they be embedded in the MKV or external).
Anyway, here is the link to the blog post in case you’re curious to try this yourself. Enjoy the link!

I don’t develop for Media Browser. That would best be asked on their forum, or you could try MediaControl, which gives you full control over ffdshow within Media Center.

and if i am corect this are your own words (However, that alone may be reason enough for me to give it a run – just so I can find a way to support subtitles (whether they be embedded in the MKV or external).)as posted above!

You’re right, I didn’t even look. So, what are you looking for in subtitle support? A way to include subtitles when encoding an MKV or how to play them back?
i am looking for a way to play subtitles inside vmc,and keep using DXVA!

You can’t.
