Just updated AMD/ATi drivers to 12.6 and VLC seemed to show erratic images with GPU acceleration turned on. Tried 12.7 with today's 2.0.2 and still have corrupt images. I'm using Win7 64bits on an AMD E-450 with 8 GB of RAM (Zotac AD04) GPU acceleration worked ok on 12.3. Also notice that 12.6/12.7 ...
Same problem here. Playing 1080p I get 70%-80% even when enabling hardware acceleration (CPU usage doesn't change when activated) whereas MPC uses 9%-15% when hardware acceleration is activated. In this case I'm using Windows XP SP3 with an nVidia 8600M GT (512MB) and the 197.16 drivers. Here's some...
And would it be possible to make one for stereo input for now? If the source isn't 2.0 then have it grayed out, and then un-grey it for 5.1 whenever the 5.1 filter is finished.
Any way to select Downmix to mono on Mac OS X? I see in VLC's "Audio Channels" that there's "Stereo", "Left", "Right" and "Reverse Stereo" but no Downmix to Mono :-S Any help? I see that there's a fix for Windows with the directx thing, but... is it ...

MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, nVidia 8600m GT 256 MB, Mac OS 10.5.7. Edit: Sjoekie 's workaround did make things a lot ...
First impressions: decoding very CPU intensive HD content in mkv/x264 in 0.9.9a is now much better compared to 0.9.9 (and earlier). There's barely any skipping now and the CPU usage has gone down a little. Question: is it because of the new ffmpeg by itself? Is multithread enabled by default? If not...
