Drew, I have the 9600XT as my video playback card. Yes, it works and works quite well with S-Video but going to HDTV resolutions above 800x600 (requireing a DVI cable or component adapter/transcoder) results in video blurring, horizontal lines, choppy playback, and other minor quirks.
Researching will drive you nuts. It's come down to VMR9 & DirectX 9.0c for ATI 9X00 cards- nothing you can do about it and I have yet to hear back from ATI on this.
I'm starting to think that ATI/nVidia realize this problem and are taking advantage of it by making their newest line of cards compatible- forcing the consumer to buy a newer card instead of the old.
I've succumbed and I'm researching dumping my ATI in favor of an nVidia AGP 6600 card.
