+# DXVA-HD sample
+
+This sample demonstrates DirectX Video Acceleration High Definition (DXVA-HD). DXVA-HD is a low-level video processing API.
+
+This sample is essentially a port of the DXVA2_VideoProc sample to use the DXVA-HD interfaces. It has the same basic functionality, and most of the keyboard commands are the same.
+
+DXVA-HD has additional capabilities that make it more powerful for video processing than the original DXVA-VP APIs introduced in Windows Vista:
+
+- Any stream can be either RGB or YUV.
+- Any stream can be either progressive or interlaced.
+- The background color can be RGB.
+- Luma keying.
+- The device can switch between blend, bob, and adaptive deinterlacing.
+- Mandatory output formats: X8R8G8B8 and A8R8G8B8
+- Mandatory input formats: X8R8G8B8, A8R8G8B8, YUY2 and AYUV

+# Decoder sample
+
+Demonstrates how to implement a decoder in Media Foundation.
+
+This sample implements a "fake" MPEG-1 decoder. The decoder does not actually decode the video streqam. Instead, it simply scans the bitstream for start codes. Then it finds the time code for each payload and outputs a blank video frame with the time code.
+
+NOTE: An earlier version of this sample was built into the MPEG1Source sample.
+
+## Sample Language Implementations
+
+C++
+
+## To build the sample using the command prompt
+
+1. Open the Command Prompt window and navigate to the Transcode directory.
+2. Type msbuild Decoder.sln.
+
+## To build the sample using Visual Studio (preferred method)
+
+1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Decoder directory.
+2. Double-click the icon for the Decoder.sln file to open the file in Visual Studio.
+3. In the Build menu, select Build Solution. The application will be built in the default \Debug or \Release directory.
+
+## To run the sample
+
+This sample builds a DLL that must be registered.
+
+To register the DLL:
+
+1. Open an elevated command prompt.
+2. Naviage to the Debug or Release directory.
+3. Type "regsvr32 decoder.dll".
+
+To unegister the DLL, type "regsvr32 /u decoder.dll"
+
+You can use the decoder DLL with the MPEG1Source sample to play an 
+MPEG-1 video file.
