In addition to CUDA support, DGxxxDecNV also requires VP2/3 video decoding capabilities. Some cards (G80 models) listed on that page only have VP1. However, GeForce 8200 does have VP3, so it should work fine.

This table on Wikipedia is perhaps the most accurate list of video decoding capabilities in current NVIDIA GPUs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVIDIA_..._.28HD.29_GPUs

A main source for my content are Dish Network captures and I always had problems with the PAFF encoding with DGAVCDec, although I admit I haven't checked for awhile. It sounds like DXVA has better PAFF handling than libavcodec.

Current libavcodec handles PAFF fine, but DGAVCDec uses an older version that has problems.
