After a long wait... Microsoft finally releases the patch for WMP10 to enable hardware acceloration for video cards that support it!
This update enables Microsoft DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) of Microsoft Windows Media Video (WMV) content in Microsoft Windows Media Player 10 for video cards when the drivers of those video cards are designed to take advantage of this feature.

The graphics adaptor must support this DXVA update. For more information, contact the driver vendor for the latest driver that supports DXVA. The content must be WMV-HD (Windows Media Video High Definition) clips (720p and 1080p) with a frame rate that is less than or equal to 30 frames per second.

Prior to installation, your MUST have this patch installed already!

I believe most of the NV4x chips support it along with R4xx chips.

well this is official release.
And it really works now for HD-WMV 9 videos.
I have never before seen such low CPU usage for step into liquid HD video.
Now its just 40-45% which used to be above 90%.
Finally the GPU is working as it should.
