[QUOTE="dman_lfc, post: 63963, member: 10331"] Just clarifying that statement. MPEG-2 [b]acceleration[/b] is still done by the GPU from both of these manufacturers. They [b]don't [/b]do hardware decoding. Hence why you still need a [b]software decoder[/b]. Nvidia's PureVideo technology as an example uses a discrete, programmable video processing core in the GPU that provides the picture quality & smoothness features at a lower CPU utilization. This can be used for WMV, VC-1, MPEG-2 & H.264 if the software decoder supports it. ATI is no different ;-) MediaPortal currently does not support any MPEG-2 / H.264 hardware decoders. While i remember it VC-1 is used on most Blue Ray discs today and requires significantly less CPU power to decode versus H.264. Some say it can decode twice as fast. DMAN [/QUOTE]
