Hardware acceleration

[candybar213 7]

I decided to go full MBT today before the Denver game. On my old setup I was running MB2 with shark007 codecs working perfect. New set up, fresh install of MBT with lav and xy filter. Playing anything and the video was in slow motion with regular audio. After some playing around I changed the acceleration setting in MBT and it works good. Now the question I see there is the same setting in the lav configuration what is hardware acceleration and do I need to Change it in lav too. What does the lav filters do it the MBT has it's own setting

we're going to be adding more settings into mbt directly. for any setting that you see in mbt you can assume that the lav saved setting is not being used because at run-time we'll be using our saved setting.

When does the lav filter kick in and MBT not

what? all other lav settings are used except for the ones in mbt.

Sorry for the confusion I am stupid. Ok so as you put more setting in the lav filters will be used less. What is acceleration?

I assume the acceleration setting enables hardware acceleration of the decoding process. e.g. if your graphics card can assist by using CUDA or DXVA. This takes the load off the CPU and is usually a lot more efficient. If your CPU is getting pushed to 100% without acceleration on then video rendering is likely to be hampered and cause stuttering.

Oh I c simply lets gpu assist the CPU with the video. Make sense this would be smother I am sure the gpu I used very little most of the time

The H/W acceleration options I see in MBT don't include DXVA2 native (available in LAV), unfortunately this is the only option that works for me. Will you be adding this option?
