Player supporting ATI Avivo HD

[abhijith]

I have an HD monitor and an ATI Radeon HD4850 graphics card. I have some 720p and 1080p HD movies. Which is the best player for viewing it along with support for GPU acceleration. I would like the player to be freeware

I don't know if VLC supports GPU acceleration (I didn't know video players did!)
But it will play just about anything

My god! VLC plays everything but suxx with AVCHD and h.264.
And does NOT use GPU!

I use Mirillis Splash for h.264 and it uses gpu accelreation (only vista and win7 are supported so far i guess).
This is free software.

PowerDVD also uses gpu but it costs quite much and gives lower video quality than Splash :/
