Is there a difference between the two software wise? I don't see new download's on Nvidia's site.

I also saw that they recommend Power DVD Ultra for Vista and not PV. I have had PV on my htpc when I had a 6800Gt and now with the 8600gts, it plays fine. Is there any diffrence between the three (or two).
 
The new Purevideo HD is built into the driver package for supported cards.

Ahh that's good to know, I just played some HD content with the original PV codecs installed, and it is super choppy. Ill uninstall and redo the Card drivers to see if that makes it better.
 
Just wanted to post that the issue was with the new Nvidia drivers (169.25) causing the choppiness, I rolled back and the problem stopped. (this was after I rebuilt the box :rolleyes:)
 
I dunno, I don't have any problems with the newest drivers, both x64 and x86.
 
NV has discounted the Purevideo DVD codec so we'll never see another update (like, for proper Vista support); NV choices to let other apps hook into the Purevideo engine (like PowerDVD) in order to support the "Purevideo" features built into their cards.

As for the choppines problem you had; mostly likely you just don't have PV setup correctly as well as your video player software. What are you using and what settings are they using?
