decoder

From what I understand nvidia has high def tech built in, buit no software to make good on the tech. Bought an 8800gtx but now i supposedly need a dvd decoder. Started looking into those and the one i should be using is Nvidia's purevideo HD. (Do I and ) Where do I get that? I went to the website and can find silver, gold or platinum. but not HD. anyone?

hhhmmm good question, DVD decoders, haven't heard of those since 99-00, when dvd drives first came out and you need one, really, I know the tech is built in on the vid card, but from what I understand, Nvidia just kinda of shafted ppl on the ability to use. Could have been a instability reason, but I'm not positive. Hopefully and which I fully believe they will implement later in the future hopefully with the fresh in generation in spring/summer.

yeah thats my guess... i'm coming from ati which has decoding software... so this is new to me. how do i go about finding purevideo hd?

you probably need something like PowerDVD 7 Ultra that could decode HD contents?
