As was mentioned, the EM8620L chipset cannot handle GMC, so users should avoid using it.

Unfortunately, the EM8620L series cannot decode H264 compliant content. We would have to wait until later on this year, with the new series of desktop players using the EM8622L chipset that is capable of handling H264 files.
