Just going back briefly to the subject of video decoders, LAV has just updated to 0.36 and one of the nice improvement this includes is merging LAVCUVID and LAVVideo into one entity (although CUVID HW Accelleration is disabled by default).
For some of us (non Nvidia card, non-compliant videos or whatever) this won't make much of a difference, but what it does mean is you can now set this up for DSPlayer or MPC-HC and have it autoswitch between CUDA video decoding for 8bit files, and software for 10bit files. I gave it a quick run through, and although I'll be sticking with software as I have some videos which dont play nice with CUVID (framerate drops etc), it was definately working as I could run 10bit Hi10p through it and have it work fine, and then have CPU usage roughly halved from the normal CPU decoding value (~10-15% to about 3-7%) for 8bit videos.
There's also apparently some optimisations to reduce CPU usage for Hi10p in general
Just thought I'd mention this. This isn't discussing fansubs just video playback in general so hopefully it's not a problem
[If it is, feel free to edit/delete, just trying to give a handy headsup for those of us using a HTPC]
@lsg1r - I'd definately give it a shot, you mentioned you thought LAV was using DXVA/Hardware accelleration before, but based on this latest update and the patch notes, it'd seem it almost certainly wasn't

Almost finished Durarara now. Opinion still stands on the series, but it's not a series I'd be embarassed to say I've seen and at least it's left me guessing at quite how its going to end as a series in some respects.
