    I'll begin by saying that this feature, so far, works perfectly, except for one small problem... All my colors are messed up. This issue is occuring on an Acer Aspire One AO751h with the Intel Atom Z520/GMA500 combo. HD videos actually play smoother with VLC than MPC-HC/FFmpeg, but everything seems to have a gold tint. I have no clue as to what's causing this besides a problem with VLC, as I've updated DirectX, and uninstalled/re-installed my GMA drivers. DXVAChecker reports all the codecs that it should support hardware wise as working, so anyone got any ideas? Is there an overlay problem? Oh, and I should mention that .avi files work fine. It's only on the files where hardware acceleration is required.

    when i watch a 720p mkv movie my cpu load is something like 15% odr lower while my gpu load is 35% or higher so obviously it works.
    however i do get some stutter in the video. when using my commercial player this stutter is not present.
    do any of you have this also?
    with regards to color, everything seems fine however.
