Basically, I believe there is no enough power somewhere. But there is a way (many ways). You have to wait for VLC 1.1.0 release, since video acceleration will come to that version.

For exampe, the use of DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration). Until then, you can use CCCP project (mpc-hc+essential applications). Install it. Launch Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Go to View -> Options. Now, go to Internal filters. At the right side (transform filters) select H264/AVC (DXVA) and VC1 (DXVA). Click OK, close mpc-hc, and start your movie with it. If you've done everything OK, you will see a Playing[DXVA] at the bottom. (Don't worry if you won't see the message. It can happen that you need a ffdshow update, just comment and I'll write it down how you can do that.) Here is a picture how it should look like:

Besides this method, you can use CoreAVC. It's a proprietary, non-free codec. For ATI it won't support GPU decoding, but it can use all the CPU cores. That should already do the job. (Later there will be some ATI support as far as I know, but there is none yet.)

Oh I forgot an important thing. UPDATE your DirectX.

You can use VLC 1.1.0 or 1.2.0 packages. These don't need an install, just unpack it and use them. (They are development packages, expect that they won't work correctly sometimes, and its not a given that they will start at all.) >> nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/last , download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/testing – Shiki May 17 '10 at 12:22
