6800GT and DVD Playback...

[BlueMagician]

Not sure what forum this really belongs in, as it's both Hardware & Software..


I may be a few months behind the original story, but what was the big upset with 6800 GFX cards and Hardware accelerated DVD decoding?

I just downloaded NVidiaDVD trial, and with the "Hardware Acceleration" box ticked in the NVidia decoder config menus, I get pink blockies all over the DVD playback! This doesn't happen with Hardware Acceleration disabled, so what's that all about?


All I'm after is a piece of DVD playing software, that will use my 6800 hardware capabilities, AND output 5.1 through a 5.1 soundcard, not just upmix or output through a SPDIF..


Any help or pointers much appreciated as always,
S.
