cool, supports 720p and 1080i directly now.

 

[stylinlp]

I wish they would add 1440x960

 

[geawan]

Does it actually say "720p" and "1080i" or does just show you the resolutions - 1280 x 720 & 1920 x 1080

I upgraded to this driver and it negatively impacts the colors on my desktop and for video playback. Everything has a reddish tint now.


I am using a DVI connected flat panel so everything is digital. I used standard express install.


I reverted back to 4.9 and the red tint is gone.


Cheers

anyone try the 'force TV' option? Does this allow you to use 1280x720 (native on my Sammy DLP?) I have always had to use Rage3D to enable 1280x720...


Anyone know if this will make this work with DLPs over DVI? I have never gotten that to work...

I don't know if this was in 4.9 or not, but there's now a "WMV Acceleration" button under the Options tab of the control panel.

So this driver allows 1080 interlaced through DVI output WITHOUT the need of a dongle and powerstrip? Does this mean all dongle owners can get a refund?

It's been some time since I upgraded my ATI drivers and off hand I don't even recall what drivers I have installed. I have a Mike Parker modified ATI 9500pro with RGB H/V out running to a NEC 9pg+ CRT pj. I am using Powerstrip to scale to 1280X720. If I install the new 4.10 drivers will I still need Powerstrip or will I be able to scale to 1280X720 without Powerstrip?

Is it working though? I ran several tests with/without it enabled and it still seems to be CPU decoding., infact I saw virtually no difference. Very high CPU use with WMV HD files using an AIW 9700pro and 2.3GHz barton CPU.

 

[jvincent]

Haven't tried it myself yet, but I thought it was interesting to see it there.

Where are you guys finding the WMV accelerate botton? I can't find it anywhere in the Control Center or desktop properties. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?


Thanks,

MR

TT 2.0 has vastly improved WMV HD performance. I play 720p files @ ~ 45% CPU load and I can now play T2:EE 1080p for the first time stutter free @ ~85%.


This really reduces the need for WMV HD HW acceleration!


I believe you must have WMP 10 for that anyway.
