It is embedded.
WIth normal driver an Cyberlink H264 codec works in MPC-HC
With IEGD 1.3 and DXVA enable doesn't work in MPC_HC

Very strange! So it's a strange driver problem, not a mplayerc one... Sorry but I haven't any idea, because I haven't Xp right now, so I can't try myself... Try changing subtitle options, like their texture resolution and buffering...

However, I was playing around with this GMA500 recently and found some interesting thing.
Looks like Intel recently has released "Intel Embedded Graphics Drivers (IEGD)" pack, dated on 10/23/2009. This is pack intended for developers, but it also contains the latest driver for GMA500 (10.2.0.1447). Sadly, it is XPDM driver (not WDDM) so Vista/7 are not supported (it works, but there are some glitches, also forget about Aero).

I extracted this driver from the pack and uploaded it here: http://www.niuki.net/GMA500-10.2.0.1447.7z
Please feel free to test.

My experience with using this driver on Win7 (don't have XP to test it):

- MASSIVE 3D performance improvement - 3D Mark 2001 score went from 931 to 1912(!) points. And this is under Software T&L mode (there is no other option available in this driver - at least on Win7).
- DXVA doesn't really work well - artifacts are present.
- Google Earth is much faster, even with 3d building on.

Please note this is unconfigured, generic driver and I am not sure how stable it is. Also, some features might be not available on it. Nevertheless I still believe it is worth to check it. Clearly looks like GMA500 has a very big potential and we just need proper drivers to make the best from it.

I really hope that Intel will release proper WDDM 1.1 (less memory usage, hardware 2D acceleraton) driver soon. This should make Aero finally usable.

Thanks for the new netbook. I appreciate your gift a lot!

Intel is still improving the driver (esp. for Windows 7), and they fixed a lot of annoying bugs, very well.

Please someone help
I heard that this machine with the IEGD Driver capable of great 3D texturing, but I'm totally confused how to make a driver in the interface!!
Please! I beg someone to make te best possible driver out from IEGD 10.4!! The only special option I want in it, is to never strech, but allways keep the resolution's aspect ration!

I also heard about this IEMGD. What the hell is the difference? I'm have no idea what's that for... is it a driver that's better than IEGD?

Please make the best driver to my Mini 1010!! Or at least write a guide, or anything...
