Hey everybody.
So recently I've been trying to watch some videos in 1080p. I only have two at the moment. When I first tried to watch it, my cpu usage shot up to 80% or so and audio/video were out of sync and jittery. So, I found this site http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/ and followed all of it's instructions to setup media player classic home cinema to play the video. It worked and I saw the lovely words "Now playing [DXVA]" meaning that my video played perfectly.
I tried playing a different video, also an mkv file, and it didn't display those nice words. Same symptoms as described above in VLC, MPC-HC and WMP11. I've got CoreAVC Professional installed but that doesn't make much difference. I also have CCCP (a codec pack). Here are my system specs followed by the video details:
CPU: Pentium 4 3.2GHz
RAM: 2GB DDR2
Windows XP SP3 32-Bit
ATI Radeon HD4670 512mb (Sapphire) PCI-E
Catalyst 2009.1214.1801.32312 (it was the hotfix version)
All drivers up-to-date

I've done a lot of reading but don't know much about decoders and all of this so most of it went over my head. The site that described how to set up MPC-HC had a video (the James bond one) that apparently couldn't be accelerated by ATI cards. Is that true for all cards or is there some hope for mine? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'll provide any extra information needed if you could tell me how to obtain it
