Hi Jay, I hope you can answer my question. I have a 785G Gigabyte Board with an Athlon II 240 set up as a HTPC. The problem I have is with the Netflix plug-in for MC. There is constant motion and judder problem when watching anything, even when I use the browser. Do you know if Netflix and/or Silverlight are using DXVA? I think my Radeon HD4200 is not being used at all when I watch Netflix on my slick HTPC.
Thanks for your help!

I don’t think the limiting factor here is Media Center. I think this is more of a Netflix decision. They need to choose what content in what formats they want to support on the PC platform.

Jay, you may want to note that the Netflix plugin does not display in HD (at least from what I have read)… I was hoping to negate the need for a Roku box with a media center, but it seems that there is a significant difference in quality between the two. Do you have any idea if Netflix in HD is a priority for Windows Media Center?
