[QUOTE="dman_lfc, post: 66814, member: 10331"] This is not an entirely true quote it depends on the format that the movie is encoded in and the processor in the system. i.e. if MPEG-2 or VC-1 then say a P4 3.0GHz dual core processors can handle this without GPU acceleration. However if say H.264 encoded at 20Mb/s then yes you'll definately need GPU acceleration. Yes if the content is HDCP protected then a graphics card with this support (and there are not many atm) is required as well as a HDCP display and complaint optical drive. So you may as well use the GPU acceleration features since you have been forced to but the latest card. Personally i'm not gonna stress too much about HDCP until there is a cheap optical drive out which handles both BlueRay & HD-DVD discs. But by that time HDCP workarounds similar to DVD Decrypter will be available since it's already been proved crackable. DMAN [/QUOTE]
