Really ?<br>
<br>
All HD-DVD rips will be VC-1 encoded, and quite a few BD are encoded with VC-1<br>
<br>
Look at the list of the newly released Bluray:<br>

<br>
I'd say the majority of them is encoded with VC-1</blockquote><div><br><br>Interesting, I haven't tried many of mine, but those I did try were h264. I usually use the PS3 for BD playback. If I do rip them, I'll transcode I guess. It's time consuming, but support for h264 is simply better. I never did HD-DVD. I sat out the format war. <br>
<br>Of course, downloading is probably faster than transcoding with my current hardware. Gotta love how "piracy" is more convenient. Owell. Time for that quad core CPU I guess. <br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Problem is VDPAU is about doing the decoding 100% in hardware... So<br>
they can't do things like simply offloading some tasks like they do on<br>
Windows</blockquote><div><br><br>I know. I was hoping they would give a little on that side. Particularly with the fact that it's damn near impossible to figure out if a card you want to buy will be compatible with VDPAU VC-1. At the very least, they need to fix that so we know what to buy. The current situation is just silly.<br>
