Enabling hardware accelerated h264/x264 Video Decoding using Media Player Classic

Media Player Classic Home Cinema is a fantastic little open sauce app. It is light weight, fast and provides great picture quality and customisation.

I use it on my PC (Vista, Radeon HD4850). It also eliminates the "screen tearing" problem many users encounter with Radeon display cards.

You can also set up video decoding using external filter via WMP-HC, for example using the Cyberlink decoder, which enables h264/x264 hardware assisted video decoding. Just visit this handy post by Blogo for instructions!
