[QUOTE="jimwin, post: 230212, member: 62878"] I think we need a bit of clarification: Nvidia Purevideo is a set of features enabled on the video card that enable hardware acceleration for multiple video formats. [url]http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo.html[/url] The Nvidia codec is a DVD / MPEG2 decoder, and not a H264 decoder. [url]http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html[/url] I'm using CoreAVC pro for H264 as it's true multithreaded, and balances the workload over both cores. It isn't Purevideo HD compliant, but the developers are looking to give it full hardware support. CyberLink, Intervideo and Arcsoft sell PureVideo HD compliant movie players on their websites. I've not looked into using any of these players (or codecs if that's possible) from in Media Portal. I don't have a Blu-ray drive yet, so I haven't got any of these software packages. I doubt you would need to overclock your processor for video work. My E2140 is running at 1.6Ghz compared to 2.2Ghz for your E2200, so thats over 33% clock increase. These new "bottom of the range" processors are still extremely powerful! [/QUOTE]
