@ChuckPa Hi mate, with regards to my topic you just closed, the issue i was outlining was with your i965 preferences.xml workaround from this thread already in place (and i know it is working because hardware transcoding is completely unusable when not), so unless you are suggesting that the upcoming iHD driver fix from Intel will also fix the 720p quality issue beyond the current workaround, i believe my topic is still a valid separate one?
