I've been trying to get HD Player Pro the past couple days, but I couldn't find the app. Has it been pulled?

It seems so. This time it surely wasn't Dolby as the devs have already removed AC-3 support. It may have been DTS, Inc. this time.

I'll mail the devs.

Hi,

I got another weird problem.
This video I got from someone else and its recognized as a .mp4, but it has DXVA encoded into it.
Because of this, AVPlayer HD and HD Player Pro can't play it successfully. It would auto stop the video at around 2 minutes while the audio will keep going.
The subtitles also does not seem to be recognized even though it is .srt and same name as the video.

Is there a way I can remove the DXVA from the video without losing quality through the conversion?

Yup, it's known to have compatibility problems: http://codecguide.com/faq_dxva.htm

Give a try to software-decoded mode to see whether it's any good. (These players try to play back mp4 files H/W decoded, which doesn't work with DXVA.) Just disable H/W decoding in Settings.
