Using the logic that seems to previal here, everyone with an ATI video card should chuck the ATI drivers and use other video card drivers. That ain't gonna work. This "codec" was written, designed and produced to utilize the specific hardware architecture of THEIR products .. NVidia video cards. Or am I just mis-informed ?? (I've been wrong before ..  ) |

Just for the record, Mr. Spock
Logic didn't prevail here because nVidia's website said the codec worked with both cards. With ATI not providing as stellar of a picture as we would like without playback issues, we're willing to test out as many possibilities as we can.
I've expended all of my resources and I've come to the conclusion that my best interest is to invest in an nVidia card. Which of course means spending even *MORE* money than what I have already invested in already.
As an ATI user and someone who isn't afraid to tweak a system, this was a last ditch effort and a pathetic attempt resurrect my ATI into "near HDTV bliss" without annoying video playback issues.
I'm now on a quest to find out how well this nVidia Pure Video works using the GeForce 6 series cards and Beyond TV.
