Does Hollywood+ play divx at diff frame rates to PAL OK?
ie 24, 25 + 30fps divx's -> PAL TV without jerkiness or problem drivers etc.

Anyone using one?

TIA

I've used H+ for DVD some time now. NTSC to PAL is fine, but not perfect. It's still a bit jerky, although later drivers have helped solve this problem to some extend.

I'm not sure about divx, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

cheers for replying, I've come to realise after extensive research, that if my top priority is playing divx's back with zero hassle then this card is not the one for me. It looks like a radeon 7500 though overkill for my needs looks like the best option, though I am wary of their drivers, based on my reading.

My intention is to operate this av box remotely via vnc from a laptop hence i want the primary display to be able to run at 1024 * 768 (though it will not be attached to a monitor) and the second screen to simply output to the tv. It would be nice if when playing mp3's on same box via winamp the visual output plugins could output to the tv too, hopefully it will work.
