After uninstalling my codecs and installing newer versions I noticed that when watching sd videos (meaning less than 720p) I get a noticeable slowdown when turning on a couple of shaders on media player classic (the normal version, not home cinema which i find worse for my gma 950). I use to reboot the computer but it doesn't always speed it up to normal playback speed. I wonder if there is any workaround for this, or if any future md might help since it seems to be shader-heavy, which isn't exactly igps strong point. I won't even mention 720p and above, as I can never enable even a simple contrast shader, which is very light, and certainly never a sharpen filter.
Unfortunately using third party codecs do help playing hd all the way to 1080p smoothly, but xvids and the likes (since I won't go as low as rmvbs) do benefit a lot from a little sharpening. -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
