As the ATI site specifically states :<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>
Integrated hardware motion compensation and iDCT</li><li>
Enhanced MPEG-2 hardware decode</li><li>
Hardware DVD sub-picture decode</li>
</ul>
here : <a href="http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9100igp/features.html">http://www.ati.com/products/radeon9100igp/features.html</a><br>
<br>
so.. it's a matter of finding apropreate drivers that support these features......<br>
as most modern cards support MPEG-2 hardware decode it would be a shame to use the CPU for such tasks.....<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/18/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Nick</b> <<a href="mailto:knowledgejunkie@gmail.com">
