Compare the CPU performance between B and C; you should notice a significant difference depending on your CPU. The less powerful your CPU is, the more drastic the performance difference.

• DivX Control Panel has limited functionality
• Instability on dual monitor configurations
• Specific clips with Quarter pixel, Global Motion Compensation, and multiple B frames affect playback
• Video clips show (red) color difference when DXVA is turned on
• Poor seek/trickplay performance when DXVA is on.
