(Off topic?) I-loop, how do you achieve 1080p @ 50 Hz (PAL) w/ATi (somewhat relevant to thread)

the problem is that nothing is realy future-safe these days

You're right ... the only thing that is future-safe these days is that: the hw I buy today will be out-dated tomorrow

i have to say that i am quite happy with my system (core2duo6600 + ATI HD2600 + coreavc 1.6.5.0).
playing 1080p videos is no issue at all

Very good to hear that ... feedback in form of user experience is the best recommendation

quite some team members report image and gui corruption with some combinations of nvidia gpu / driver versions.
i am using only ATI cards here and do not have any issues. but i am also not using HW-accel.

Maybe that is the best way to go ... powerful CPU, good GPU and software decoders. I that case I will be flexible to choose the decoder I like most and not locked to a specific hw/decoder combination. Since most of the decoder software (like CoreAVC™ Professional Edition) have SMP support I think I will go for a Intel® Core™2 Quad - they are quite affordable

okay, my post was realy missleading.
:sorry:

my HTPC is able to play an 1080p mvk / ts file. but i am only using 720p as output resolution for the TV-Set (VGA-connector).

I'm using a nvidia 8600GTS in combination with cyberlink powerdvd7. For me it works perfect. Great picture quality on MPEG2 and H.264 and both HW accelerated with EVR (on Vista ultimate 32bit)

Can't say anything about ATI, never tried it except for my first low budged ATI card where I had lots of trouble and bad image quality(well it was low-budget). This was 3 years ago and shouldn't be compared to the new high-end ATI cards offcourse!

Have you tried CoreAVC decoder without HW accelerate in your system ...

No didn't try. Does it have better PQ as Cyberlink PowerDVD? Cyberlink works great for me without any issues and with great PQ, don't want to pay for another codec if it doesn't have benefits.
