ya, but do I need a special player? Is there a special codec that says 'hey, this is h264, let's send it straight to the vid card'? There's a step here I'm probably not understanding
my legitimately obtained backup copies of the movies i legally own run at 120fps
i got through the departed in 20 minutes
How does this work?
Isn't the H264 decoded by whatever codec the video player uses first before being sent out to the vid card? If that's the case, then the CPU is doing the majority of the work, thereby making the video card acceleration kind of pointless.
