I'm testing hardware accellerated H264 decoding using a Broadcom card. The hardware decoder driver is implementet as a DirecShow codec/filter.
Playing 1080p HD movies in Media Player automatically uses the correct codec/filter and playback is smooth with low CPU load. I prefer to use VLC espesially since Media Player does not support multicast streams which I also use. Is it possible to use DirectShow filters/codecs with VLC? If so, how do I specify it?
Thanks

Re: Using DirectShow filter in VLC?
In short: no. VLC is not using DirectShow.Is it possible to use DirectShow filters/codecs with VLC?
The single and only exception is the Windows Media DMO codecs.
