Well tried it but its quirky.Picture quality is good.However if u uninstall and reinstall it,it sometimes mysteriously doesn’t work and leaves an invlaid NDIS I/O driver error in event log.No known solution so far.
This should have been free for all owners of nvidia cards.

These codecs + wmp10 own for dvd playback on 6600gt’s, using the geforce6’s hardware dvd decoding capabilities they can play even high definition 1080p movies without the cpu usage ever going above 80%, for normal dvd playback it will remain as low as 10-15%.

WMV HD + ATi Radeon 9XXX/X800 + registry hack to enable WMV acceleration = <20% cpu usage :slight_smile:

chaos pm me a link to the reg hack if you have it.

Well an easy way out is to get ATI tray tools. It has the option in it. However you need a beta version of WM player 10 (available via msdn) to get it to run properly.

ok will check it out :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

yep.. thats true.. IMO, its not worth downloading that trial pack.. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
