Though it may be possible, I couldn't get this to work. In fact, with this program installed, I couldn't get BTV to go into live TV at all. Only until I uninstalled these drivers did I get things working again.

From what I've seen in the past, some of these Mpeg-2 DVD decoders are made specifically to make use of available hardware accelleration on their own brand video card. If it's optimised for NVidia Graphic cards, I would think it would work best there. Maybe also with the ATI, but I really can't see a company designing a "better" DVD decoder to work well with the competition's hardware. I have both Nvidai and ATI cards here to test. I think I'll give it a go and see what happens.
