FFdshow DXVA subtitle problem

Question

Hello everyone. First of all, let me explain the layout. I've been using a CoreAVC for dual core playback. Its not that bad and if I bought I should use it, but I dont really like it. Why? I've got an ATI and an Intel VGA in the laptop. Because of this (no Nvidia gpu), the CPU is almost on fire when I try to play a fullHD video. | I found a way to play HD movies easily. Its the DXVA acceleration. I'm using CCCP codec pack. Used to disable the h264 internal ffmpeg codec. By this, MPC-HC was using the CoreAVC stuff. Now, I found out, that I can use a new snapshot of ffdshow, which comes with DXVA. So I set the internal encoding to h264. Downloaded the ffdshow, installed it. Set it up correctly. Force disabled the dll in the player and now, it uses ffdshow's latest one. || The good thing? DXVA works. Flawless, low cpu, w00t. Problem? No subtitles. I can see the subtitles at the tray ffdshow icon , select them, but nothing happens. And yeah, thats quite annoying since I only watch movies in native languages...and.. I like to watch anime.. and if anyone watch them too.. then he/she knows that its a bit hard to understand it without subtitles. Thanks for any idea/help in advance. (Ps.: DirectX is updated, and the driver is the latest what comes from Lenovo. IIRC 9.9 Catalyst and the latest Intel driver.)

Found the solution: CCCP codec pack with Media Player Classic HC and DXVA (with subtitles)

First of all, you have to grab some stuff from the internet. You'll need these: 1. CCCP pack 2. FFdshow 3. Haali (All from their original websites. Use the "free-codecs" FFdshow.)

Install CCCP without installing ffdshow and haali. Unselect them at the install screen. Now, install ffdshow (You may want to enable subtitle support and disable deblocking (its at the bottom, under "Tweaks")), haali. Use the basic settings, you shouldn't adjust anything unless you know what you are doing.

Now, start Media Player Classic HC. Go to Options (View->Options). (Here, I usually select the "Remember last window size, position" and uncheck the "Auto-zoom" at the "Playback" part, but that's only because I love Smplayer's behaviour).

This one will depend on the OS. If you use XP, select VMR9 (renderless). If you've got Vista+, use EVR Custom Pres. ** (Reduce EVR buffers to the lowest possible value).

At Internal Filters (right), select: H264/AVC (DXVA), H264/AVC (FFmpeg), VC1 (DXVA), VC1 (FFmpeg).

Go to External Filters. Click on "Add Filter..." and select ffdshow Video Decoder. At right, select "Block".

Finally, go to "Playback" (left 'tree view') and select "Auto-load subtitles". Click OK, restart MPC-HC and see if it works.

I don't see the point : install ffdshow and blocking it in mpc-hc. btw, I thought ffdshow was useless for dxva.
