Does/Can VLC use DXVA in Windows OS?

[Stanley]

Hi all,

I have a simple question to ask: Does latest VLC media player use DXVA in Windows OS (XP and Vista)? If the answer is YES, how do I set as DXVA in the VLC options? My concern is about GPU acceleration, when we using HW decoding for MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VC-1, H.264 and etc movie clips or DVD titles...if VLC media player can use DXVA in Windows OS then GPU can use its HW acceleration for these clips/titles through the display drivers. Thanks in advance!!

Best Regards,
Stanley

No. VLC doesn't support DXVA (to be more specific, libavcodec decoders don't support).

VLC nightlies should now support DXVA but I can't get it to work. Is there a setting I need to change?

Messages should display if DXVA is used
