cpu vs gpu for video rendering with i5 460m 2.53 ghz

[Edgarke16]

I have a i5 mobile processor with no discrete graphics card, just the Intel HD graphics within the chip. Use MPC-HC for mkv and avi files at 1080p resolutions and some 720p. My question is, for better image quality, should i checkmark DXVA or leave it to the processor?
any reasons why the integrated gpu in this chip would work better than the cpu?
Thanx for the help

Trust your own eyes.

Not all h.264 features are supported by DXVA. You'll find many files don't decode properly with DXVA. So I always use software decoders.

Yes i've notice some issues when playing some tracks (h.264 ) and well, that is good to know, but also yeah as you say epsilonalpha my eyes are the very fire test for this situations. Thank you both.

Get yourself a copy of Total Media Theatre 5 from Arcoft. Arcoft codecs seems to be the best for DXVA according to me tests (tested with coreavc, cyberlink)

Thank you themaster1 for your sugestion. I have TMT5 installed and used to play mkv files flawlessly and i realy noticed the quality vs other players but i have problems with mkv files that contain srt files. When i disable them, they still seem to appear for a fraction of a second. And that was realy anoying for me. Have you experienced this problem?

And i've also tried PowerDVD but subtittle size and quality is too bad since that can't be changed.
