    The only thing is that is useful is how to disable the MS VC-1 DMO filter manually (there are tools for this).  Or what it takes to build the Intel WMV3 decoder to play VC-1.

    I was getting major stuttering with the MS decoder and Intel 1.5, but  I’m having weird issues with AC3 passthrough.  Sometimes it’s fine, some times it stutters and dies.  I’ve even consider SP1 beta.  I have a work-around and I’ll give 1.5 another go. 

    I’m a somewhat amazed that you are getting such low utilization with software rendering.  Do you have something bigger than a i3-5[3-4]0 or do you think you are getting HW acceleration? 

    The only decent VC-1 decoder I have found is the MPCHC decoder (DXVA), which doesn’t seem to work on Clarkdale.  The MS one stutters even on my i7.  I was going to play with the ArcSoft one, but the ffdshow one is working pretty well.
