    I am pretty sure I finally got full hardware acceleration working now while playing 720P or 1080P HD movies. Here is how for those that don't know:

    1. Download the latest Media Player Classic here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145203 (download the 32bit version even if you run 64bit OS like me)
    2. Setup MPC following instructions here: http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/
    3. Enjoy your x.264 HD videos with true X4500 hardware acceleration!

    Thanks goes out to all the help i got from this thread, but I thought it be nice to summarize everything in a new thread:

    Here's proof:
    Video: 1080P, CPU usage 20-30%
