That would explain why I had no luck with it then (if true).

You should at least have a Radeon HD 3000 series or a nvidia 8000 series graphics card in order for DXVA to work (I think)

[HowTo] Enable DXVA H264 Decoding for MKV + Subtitles for Windows Media Player/Center on Windows 7

It may have been supported in his pack, but I stopped using it. I was having too many issues with settings not sticking and “Run As Administrator” simply not working. I prefer a more compact solution anyway. I still have his pack on a couple of HTPCs my kids use since they don’t require much configuration. I’m happy with it there.

shark007 claims hees software has been able to do this for weeks!!!
i guess all the htpc communitys have missed something big time!

Cool…I just wonder where that registry entry comes into play. It seems as though the length I went to in order to get it going made it look as though it was enabled, but it was not. I’ll have to try this out later and see what happens. Good news!

Jon take a look at this! http://jonscaife.blogspot.com/2010/03/subtitles-and-dxva-in-windows-media.html

I’m just glad I don’t need DXVA. It’s been more trouble than it’s worth long before it was placed on the pedestal it sits now.

I’m seriously considering bypassing the onboard ATI video on my motherboard and getting a nvidia GT210 for the CUDA support. Seems this is going to be the only way to reliably get subtitles support with hardware decoding still enabled. DXVA support just doesnt seem to be coming along fast enough.

Shame CoreAVC have indicated they have no plans to support DXVA not ATIStream/SimHD and instead will be focusing on CUDA.

Considering the infancy of it, I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m just happy to see it worked on at all.
