MSI A5000 - can it play 1080P video (NV 8200M IGP)? SOLVED

Just curious if anyone knows. I have an MSI A5000 laptop. It's about 4-5 years old (maybe more?). It has an NV system chipset with (I think) an 8200M IGP. I don't know if that accelerates Flash or H.264. (It should be capable of low-end gaming.)

CPU is an Intel T3100 dual-core Mobile Celeron (C2D class/era).

Edit: According to this document, it does support 1080P HD video decode:

I believe my old laptop from the same era with a GMA 4500MHD supported Blu Ray. The 8200M is from the same era where HD decode was all the rage, it most likely can do so. Not sure about hdcp though if Blu Ray is your thing.
