Missing DXVA Support for Video Decoding

[nicedriving]

It can't use GPU Video Decoding in Windows 8.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Use a ultra old GPU, like I'm currently using a Intel GMA 4500MHD
2. Open Supermium, enable Override software flag, and then go to YouTube.
3. Make h264ify extension enabled; and its block 60fps is ticked or enabled.
4. Open any YouTube Video, and use statistic (to make sure it decodes in avc1).

Expected behavior
It uses only Software rendering (CPU only).

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows Embedded 8.1 Enterprise
• CPU: Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500
• RAM: 2GB DDR2 666 Mhz x2
• Storage: SSD 128GB

Additional context
It doesn't want to use the Intel GPU, it only roughs up all processes to the only a single core in the CPU.

Well... My GPU only have feature level up to 10.0 and 9.1 (dxva) not dxva2, in this scenario. This also iGPU, not a separated GPU.

Because I said this, you mention about d3d11. Which this old iGPU from 2006 not even support it. I need is D3D9, thank you.

You need VDAVideoDecoder to be back, just like I do (In this browser? I don't think so)
Full explanation: Alex313031/thorium-legacy#114
To get it working, you have to use Chromium 109 (Last version that officially supports Windows 7):
Launch it with arguments:
--disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds
Go to chrome://flags and set those to:



(Not all of them might be required but you can get most of your GPU to render the browser pages this way)
It still works well for most sites and I use it to type this comment right now.
