Thats kinda my point. Crystal HD is a solution for everyone and all they have to do is lay out $20.
All the other solutions for VDPAU, DXVA2, DSplayer etc only focus on a particular section of users with a specific hardware setup. So 3 or 4 teams of devs working on seperate solutions for the same thing. Plus more code equals more problems.
Add to that its a great upgrade path that saves having to buy a system with a certain OS, certain CPU or certain VGA to run the other solutions and its perfect.
I was going to fork out £250 on a ION based system. £13 got me the same end result.
