Enable hardware acceleration for Movist?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello. First of all, I love Movist, it is amazing media player, keep up the 
great work!
I'm submitting an issue or a feature request, I'm not entirely sure what is 
this.
I'm using MacBook Air 2.1 with OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.5 x64 and Movist - latest 
version.
I need the MacBook to play flawlessly a 1080p file, because I'm going to use it 
on 42 inch LCD TV through HDMI.
With QuickTime's native codecs installed (Perian is uninstalled), I can play an 
MP4 1080p file with H264 compression. While playing, the computer's CPU usage 
goes between 10% and 15%, which indicates that there is huge GPU acceleration 
active.
However when I play the same file in Movist, I am getting 120-150% CPU usage. 
This indicates that only the processor is doing the playback with no GPU 
acceleration.
For playback on Movist I use FFMPEG decoder. When I switch to QuickTime 
decoder, I get a choppy playback. While on FFMPEG, the movie plays normally, 
however there are sometimes spikes which makes the movie go choppy from time to 
time.
Can you please tell me what to do to get QuickTime's hardware acceleration 
active on Movist?

Thank you!

I have the same issue. Granted my CPU usage goes from about 10% with Quicktime 
to around 40 with Movist (instead of 120), it seems the same issue applies.

Perhaps we can get an update on the progress of this issue?

You should lower your expectations.
Movist's last version was made 14 month ago and there is no sign of any 
development still going on...
