Funny you asked this as i was looking for a agp card for a friend last night, 7600gt would be needed for HD, but to be honest your processor, just may not cope with any software decoding of H.264, so i would save for a complete upgrade when you are ready. Any Nvidia FX5200 or Ati 9550 onwards is DX9, but faster better.

I've sorted this problem by reinstalling MP and using the 'bob' interlace to give the video braodcast look. However all my 4:3 MPEG2s (only MPEGS, other formats fine) are stretched with 'normal' as the aspect ratio when in widescreen. On my PC monitor (4:3) the files are now in widescreen and I have to select stretch to get it 4:3...

For h.264, NVidia decided not to write a decoder, but rather license out the code needed to reference the necessary hardware functions to 3rd party developers. To add confusion, they call this technology "PureVideo HD" which is easily confused with the (very different) mpeg2 CODEC called "PureVideo". PDVD 7.3 is one of the few that...

Hi folks, maybe this is only a configuration problem: When I playback a MPEG2-recording, the picture is alright. However, when I try to fast forward or rewind, the picture is not smooth, I see lots of tons of block artefacts while winding.

When I play some file types in MP it does not use the same graph as reported by graphedit.

You are right if you only have DTS and AC3 movies, but some movies do have Mpeg audio(like MP4 Movies specially encoded for play back on the Sony Playstation 3) and also most SD TV channels use Mpeg for audio, so this requires to have an AC3 encoder like ffdshow or AC3filter. Once encoded into AC3 you can set ffdshow or ac3filter to...

MP1 MP2 Which codec? DE
So ffdshow comes with a bunch of codecs that do xvid/divx etc, so you're still going to want that. Really you are trying to decide what you use for tv right? So it's your mpeg2 decoder. Personally I find that cyberlink gives the crispest video (nvidia purevideo is slightly fuzzier) however it is the least "error tolerant" of the...

I prefer to look at it this way: although those of us with widescreen displays KNOW it's "broken" for those novices who are just breaking in to the digital world, having MPV handed to them as a FREE codec gets them going with no investment. YES, I agree it's frustrating and more than confusing for the "novice" to get a handle on...
