Can you paste the mediainfo output of the file?

How exactly do I do this?

The video file is quite big so I won't upload it. This is using GPU acceleration on a 480p x264 encoded video file.

Hi there, I notice that when I'm watching standard definition videos with VLC, with GPU Acceleration turned on, I get random artifacts appearing in the video. As soon as I turn GPU acceleration off, the artifacts disappear. My GPU is a Radeon 4225, on Windows 7 64bit, Catalyst 10.8.

Is there a way we can petition or get ATI to fix the driver in question?

On their GPU acceleration method?

So it is just nVidia that works?

Are there any updates for this? I compared CPU usage between VLC and MPC-HC, and VLC is still usually about 10-20% higher in usage with DXVA.

nVidia?

Yes. I may be getting either an ATI or Intel card for my next laptop, so I am wondering how well those work currently.

First try, CPU usage was between 30-40%; restarted VLC and tried again, CPU usage was between 10-20%. Weird.
