Ati's technicians have been asked many times in ati's forums , by users,
about the well known limitations their drivers have. No activity seems
to be taking place , but who knows. Maybe in their next catalyst release
they will deactivate the limitation and all files will play correctly. On the
other hand maybe not. The point is that nvidia guys even use that , in
order to attack the ''other'' side.
There was a trailer from apple's site , quantum of solace in particular ,
which was used in a nvidia dxva demonstration , where the same trailer
was playing correctly using their cards , while when it was playing under
ati cards , the green artifact fenomenon was present , making the video
totally unwatcable . MPC - HC as far as i remember , has the ability to detect whether the card is able to cope with the video in dxva. That means that
if you try to play such a file using an ati card , the player simply won't use
dxva and it will revert back to software rendering .
Maybe something like that can be a part of dvdplayer also .
And don't forget. It has nothing to do with the horse-power of the cards .
All capable - dxva ati cards can decode everything , it is simply an inner
driver limitation which ati has to remove .
