ArcSoft's SimHD is DirectShow compatible?

Meaning... if I buy the software do I have access to the filter with a different media player (Zoom, MPC, etc.)?

i heavily doubt it in my tests it seems Arcsoft started back in September 2008 to close out their filters from other Applications, and according to what you hear every single filter now seems shutoff from other Applications by now so i guess that also includes the SimHD filter :)

By now i guess every important ISV should have shutoff their filters this includes Cyberlink, Arcsoft, Corel and Nero

so anyone actually tried it? maybe they're using the genuine CSI upscaling algorithm?

didnt try, but i read a short review. people are generaly disapointed.
maybe they just expect too much.

hehe OK, their pics look badly photoshoped anyway :rolleyes:

OK I just tried it :D

well that's nothing to write home about, convert a PS sharpening script from MPC to CUDA and there you go...you'll have a far better run for your money if you enable LSF in ffdshow ;)

[shinedot]

just as i thought. marketing bullshit :/
