[QUOTE="FlyinWhee, post: 154195, member: 51333"] I would love a hardware solution to decoding, but only if I couldn't get a video card to do the trick for me. I realized today that some H.264 encoded videos in 720p I had here wouldn't play back properly, causing slowdowns and forcing the video to catch up afterwards - basically, it's not really nice having a great resolution on a 43 inch plasma, but have it lag out more than a youtube video. I'm pretty sure the only thing I need to change is my video card (CPU is decent for the job, RAM will be slightly upgraded by tomorrow) since it's pretty damn old (Radeon 9250). So that might be a tad off topic, but what decent AGP video card could I get in the 100 bucks range to make sure I can playback stuff at 720p without putting too much strain on the CPU? And well, if nothing works, PCI hardware decoder would be lovely. [/QUOTE]
