How would one do it to make H.264 media use hardware acceleration? This is really cool actually.

    Yeah I know, I have that but it doesnt come up (a little icon on the taskbar) when playing any HD vids. That's what the new drivers provide (by using them + the decoder), I just haven't tried it and didn't know if it would work now.
