Does anyone know if a trial version of these decoders exists and if so, where? I wouldn't mind paying for them but wouldn't want to pay just to test it out...know what I mean?

thats an old post when there was no nvidia decoders and nvDVD has quit being sold

I'm sorry, I don't know where I am anymore, I could have sworn I was in an nVidia decoder thread when I posted that.

WRT Sonic, AFIAK there is and never was a trial of the decoder pack. And the trial of Cineplayer does not exist anymore.

Hello!

I am very new to the HTPC scene (been up and running about 1 week now) and I have followed the instructions in this thread and still do not have the Intervideo registry entry. Where did I overlook something?

I have Hauppage WinTV-PVR-150 (latest driver and installed Hauppage video decoder http://hauppauge.lightpath.net/softw...r/hcwsmd04.exe) and SageTV. This is running on WinXP Pro, I have Sage set to use VMR9 (which must mean I have directX9 installed? I dont remember doing it however, is there a way I can check to see which version I have?)

Thanks!

Hold Windows-R (for RUN), and then type "DXDIAG"

That will tell you the DirectX version.
