use purevideo with other players

[nd4spdbh2]

Is there any way i can use nvidia's purevideo on other media players than Windows Media player.... cus WMP is HORRIBLE at playing back dvd's... not quality but options, and half the time is wont even start the dvd where as windvd 6 that i have will run the dvd's everytime.... it would be really cool if i could use purevideo with windvd 6.

Well now that Pure Video Technology is embedded in the latest video card drivers, any player that supports PV should be able to use it. Go to the nVidia PV page and there should be a list of hardware and software that supports it.

purevideo HD is not embeded into their drivers... not purevideo decoder.... but ima check their site.

ahh man straight from their site

NVIDIA® PureVideo™ Decoder software, a plug-in for Microsoft® Windows® Media Player and Media Center Edition

Release Highlights:

* WHQL Certified.
* NVIDIA PureVideo™ HD driver with support for the following features:

o Video post-processing image enhancements.
o Built-in support for HDCP content protection protocol via DVI or HDMI connectors.

* Includes the new NVIDIA Control Panel. Please visit the NVIDIA Control Panel website for more information.
* Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0c and OpenGL® 2.0 support
* For a full list of fixes issues, please view the release notes.

So if you need to buy the codec, it will only work in WMP for now TTBOMK.

I can't vouch that I've noticed better non HD DVD playback but since this is a driver enhancement, there should be some improvements when playing the mentioned supported files.

Mmmm... It looks like DRM is getting built into XP/2000 drivers too and not just Vista drivers.

Here's a good free player if you are interested in trying one. It doesn't mention PureVideo but maybe support is already there or coming soon.

You can grab the 14 day demo and if you like it, just buy the code for the version you want. The trail version converts to the retail when you register with your product key.
