okay...so what's the limitation or problems with the trial version?

------edit: just tried to install the "trial" version you linked too, and it asks for an activation code.

For FX apparently DXVA is supported, Hardware Deinterlacing (which apparently gives you a clearer picture) is not.
Purevideo apparently does NOT support DXVA nor HI for the MX.

"Apparently" it runs out after 30 days ...but is not crippled AFAIK.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder...trial.html says

This is the trial version of the software and will run for 30 days and enable all audio features To activate the trial version please use the activation information below during the installation process.

According to http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html the MX is NOT listed, sorry csy ALSO not does "NOT SUPPORT DXVA", my typo corrected.

Looks like you convinced yourself you need a new card... :p

So if these fix my video problems, i'll have to buy the stupid codecs?

[jksmurf]

I doubt, with that MX card, it will fix your problems, if my reading of csy posts is correct. Try them ... !! There are other codecs....

Sorry, i had missed that.....i got it to work now. Still didn't help with the video problems, if anything...it got worse. You know...some other posts have mentioned that this might all be related to audio problems, I wonder how many people on here having problems are running onboard sound?
