Hi,
i'm not an expert in the matter...so I'm asking: I have an ATI HD 4850, is there a way to watch all kind of movies using the hardware acceleration or it's already enabled by default?
Thank you

VLC doesn't support hardware video decoding, if that is what you mean.

I've read that using some codecs it's possible to use the power of the graphic card instead of the processor...for example to decode HD movies...but I don't know how to do it.
Could you tell me how to achieve it, maybe with another program? I've also read I could use DXVA codecs but I don't know how..

Use Media Player Classic Home Cinema. It has build-in VC-1, MPEG-2 and H.264 DXVA decoders.

thank you! I will try it!
just 1 question, what will I have to do to enable the hardware acceleration? Or it's already active by default?
