I'm using ffdshow for decoding, madVR as the renderer, our audio engine for audio.
I'm also using the new VideoClock options for smooth video playback. We're still tuning this and will try to provide a nice explanation in a couple weeks.

Yes, yes, and I'm not sure. My computer is using about 8% CPU during 1080p playback, but I believe madshi of madVR indicated DXVA is not desirable for the best quality anyways.
JustinChase:
Thanks Matt. I'm trying to set this up now, but your solution isn't readily obvious when setting up. I guessed at the non-obvious and tried this...
Playback Method: JRiver video engine (using DirectShow filters)
Source Filter: Automatic *** Not sure this is right
Other Filters: ffdshow Video Decoder; JRiver Bitrate Monitor filter *** Not sure if this is your audio engine, there's no obvious choice here
Video Renderer: MadVR (anyone know how to make it stop asking for permission whenever I try to open a video file?)
I don't see the VideoClock option anywhere, where to look?
When I try to play some MKV videos on a client machine it crashes MC. I haven't kicked the wife off the HTPC yet to test there, but initial signs are that I still don't have this set up correctly yet.
If i can get this working, I'll see how I do with cpu usage and decide if I care about DXVA
thanks again!

It's not yet available in the public build.

What version of ffdshow? I tried this recently with a corei3 system and got occasional stuttering and could not get digital audio passthrough to work. I am wary of relying on third-party freeware decoders for stable playback. Do you guys feel differently? I would like to do all my playback in MC but would consider buying something like PowerDVD so that I could potentially get support for decoding/playback issues.

I would recommend using your computer to decode all audio, and then output PCM over HDMI or use an analog output.
As for decoding, you can use the Microsoft filters (in Vista and Windows 7) if you want simple, stable, filters. If you want a little more quality, you might look into madVR, etc.
