Aren't new Graphics cards supposed to be able to accelerate HD video decoding and playback? ATI HD 2400, HD 2600, HD 2900 and GeForce 8500, 8600 and 8800? It's even possible that some manufacturer sells one of them for AGP. So what's the point of adding another card that costs even more and does less?
dman_lfc, I appreciate the effort you're doing to help bring HD content to a broad audience of Media Portal users. But the whole point was to make HD more accessible to more computers without having to invest much in new hardware. Building custom hardware seems too expensive unless some major player wants to invest and mass distribute them. |
