819641 2009-10-12 08:31:00 It's pretty damn pricey for the full version
www.arcsoft.com
$119.99(us$?)
some folk use this-it's a bit cheaper
www.cyberlink.com
of course you would try before you buy needless to say;)

819642 2009-10-12 17:27:00 Already grabbed the trial of PowerDVD, couldn't even get it to play my media files for some darn reason :( Chilling_Silence (9)
819643 2009-10-12 21:30:00 Have you tried media player classic? I think 6600 onwards support hardware acceleration of h.264 to some degree... utopian201 (6245)
819644 2009-10-13 06:48:00 Yeah coz I had a 6600GT in the past. MPC-HC is Media Player Classic - HomeCinema, it's just slightly more updated.

The question is using the right decoder that will actually offload it *to* the hardware :-/

I've still got a 6600GT 256MB AGP that I put in a PC I built for my brother and his wife, I don't think he'd care were I to swap it for a newer / better 7300GT ;)

819645 2009-10-13 11:06:00 the 6600gt is better so grab that if you can. I dont know how now but I had 1080p okish with celeron 1.6ghz and 7300GS (not sure of the difference between the gt and gs)

When I say ok it wasnt great but bareable, 720 was sweet.

Would of thought your P4 would be pretty happy with it?

819646 2009-10-13 17:12:00 What're you playing it back on ? MPC? What decoders are you using? Chilling_Silence (9)
819647 2009-10-13 19:31:00 Just WMP, and I think I was also using klite codecs hueybot3000 (3646)
819648 2009-10-13 20:23:00 I've got the K-Lite Codec Pack somewhere, but IIRC it just uses ffmpeg / ffdshow like the Shark007 Win7 Codec Pack I've got does ... ? Chilling_Silence (9)
819649 2009-10-13 20:57:00 There are different renderers in media player classic. You just have to make sure you have the right directX installed (at least 9 i think) and select the right renderer. I'm not sure off the top of my head, but its easily google-able utopian201 (6245)
