nvidia pure video ? nvdvd ? ffdshow ?

Hi,

Need some help or direction.

Right now I am using NVDVD decoder 40029 with EngineVersion=9.1.0.429 that I downloaded.

I have a 6600GT card running forceware 77.72

Is the nvidia purevideo decoder version 1.02 platinum an update of NVDVD? Is the decode better?

Purevideo says it can upscale, is that like ffdshow? better or worse?

Should I already have upscaling with what nvdvd and forceware but I am too dumb to figure it out?

I am trying to get ffdshow to work but so far it is very stuttered. ( P2.4 with 1 gig ram) Will purevideo use less resources?


Does pure video ship with video cards (should I have gotten it in my 6600GT) or is it always a seperate package?


Any comments on purevideo and if it is worth getting when you have nvdvd, are welcomed.

Thanks in advance!

PureVideo will use less resources. The scaling algorithm is not as good as what you can get with ffdshow, but ffdshow will require a fast CPU. For video content you need a REALLY fast CPU to deinterlace as well as DXVA deinterlacing so for that just stick with DXVA. For DVD you need to experiment to see what you like.

Technically you are upscaling if you set you output resolution greater than the native resolution of the video you are playing. So this is done with any decoder and any video card.

v3 doesn't seem to like it as much as v2 though. Or at least nielm's fast forward/rewind import doesn't like it much. I went back to the sage decoder even though I purchased purevideo.
