Which ATI Decoder?? HD 3650

[richie_pag]

hey guys

Was wondering if anyone can recommend me a ATI decoder

I have a Bravia 46" X series and HD channels look a little washed out compared to the built in tuner

Cheers

OS: win xp MCE

I would recommend to try Power DVD 7. It was good for me with ATI or Nvidia.

cool

before i installed the 3650 i was using onboard video so i installed Nvidia pure video

i should be uninstalling this and installing Power DVD?

Cheers

No, just install PDVD and use this utility to switch codec.

Pal - how is he going to use the VMC one when he's stated he's using XP MCE as his OS? :-)

For the OP you can run either PureVideo or any other MPEG2 decoder - is up to you - see which one you prefer.
