I actually mean with compatible combination – the file (h264’s level), the vga, and probably some other factors

The decoding is still by either MPC internal decoder (with DXVA capabilities), FFDshow, CoreAVC or whatever the available decoder. With compatible files (h264's level, vga, etc), EVR + CoreAVC probably is the fastest way (and looks best). EVR should be avoided on some vga cards though. And for the VLC's settings, it's actually also doable with ffdshow. Just open the ffdshow video decoder configuration, in Codecs > H.264/AVC, there's the skip deblocking options (when safe or always). EVR only handles the output.

We use ffdshow for the audio codecs it supports that might come with the h.264 video you try to decode. So while CoreAVC handles the video, ffdshow is needed to handle the audio.
