ATI and GeForce have MPEG2 hardward decoder. But when you play Divx, can I assume no card out there will help?
I am planning to encode HD into Divx(720p) and play them back. My plasma TV will be 1280x768, so there is no need to encode higher than 720p.
All GeForce4 and ATI Radeon reviews I have seen talks about how fast they perform for games. Should I even other to get a high end card since none of the cards helps Divx playback? Currently I have an old TNT2 and Rage 128 Pro.
Note that when I watch live HD, it will go thru myHD card direct to Plsama. I am only concern about playing back Divx.
I am thinking of GeForce4 MX440 since it is cheap.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
