Are there any software DVD players that works with ATI's hardware acceleration?
Hi,
Does any of the numerous software DVD players currently available specifically takes advantage of the hardware assisted DVD playback offered in ATI cards? Thanks. |

Radeon-based ATI cards offer hardware iDCT and motion compensation.
From http://www.ati.com Radeon specifications: Quote:
These are from WinDVD support pages at http://www.intervideo.com: Quote:
AFAIK other than these software DVD players don't support both HWMC and iDCT thus not fully taking advantage of the Radeon chip.

I have PowerDVD XP 4.00.1392 Standard Version, and it supports ATi Hardware Acceleration fully: IDCT+MC (I have an ATi RAGE128)
Super Smooth Playback & CPU utilisation under 20% (PIII@667MHz) The proof that it works is that, if I disable Hardware Acceleration, I get over 80% CPU utilisation. Have a look at all cards that are supported from PowerDVD XP: http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/p..._comp_list.jsp Last edited by DJ Bobo; 19th May 2002 at 23:14. |
