don't use purevideo on Vista

clipped from www.avsforum.com One other thing that I've learned recently after playing around with a variety of video decoders on vista is that the default MS decoder allows hardware acceleration. Under Vista, the decoder basically passes the video information off to the display driver which is responsible for things like deinterlacing, denoising, et cetera. In my personal experience, I've had the best results with the MS decoder. In fact, according to MS, when you use the PureVideo decoder on Vista, it's actually doing a software-only decode. Here's a couple of links to posts by an MS employee about this topic on thegreenbutton.com: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/pe...ead.aspx#199375 http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/pe...ead.aspx#174165
