I am hoping this isnt too stupid a question
In my travels in the forums, I come across "I am using the PowerDVD codec" quite often. I can only assume this is related to PowerDVD 8 by Cyberlink.
But I havent seen anything on the cyberlink site that talks about the codec only.
I guess what confuses me is that I have zero interest in running PowerDVD instead of Media Portal.
Do I have to fully install PowerDVD to get the codec(s)?
I have a DG45, which is supposed to have very good hardware acceleration. I am currently using CoreAVC+VMR on Vista32SP1 (and love it). Is the value proposition that using hardware acceleration will give me better video quality?
Finally, will this allow me to use Master Audio and/or TrueHD? I am currently only playing AC3/DTS audio tracks.
Thanks to anyone clearing up my confusions,
Joe
