Has anyone had any luck getting hardware acceleration working for 3400 series Radeon (3470 specifically) using Cyberlink Ultra 7.3 or even better PlayMovie?
I've been lucky enough to watch 3 titles without it but have one now that the CPU just cant cope with alone. I bought the 3470 to avoid having to upgrade the rest of the system and it would be plenty if I can just get HA to work.
Funny thing is that PlayMovie seems to work a lot better than PowerDVD itself but still doesnt seem to be using HA.
This situation is just confirming a long time hatred of Cyberlink software (only got it because it came with the player).
what patch level of Cyberlink PDVD are u using ? 7.3.????
and exactly what ATI CCC version are you using ??
i find it very odd that you are having issues with the 3470, as the 2400XT has no such issues, i'm running PDVD Ultra 7.3.4102 and ATI CCC 8.5.
EDIT: i just realised this is posted in the XP section, are u using XP or vista ? i seem to remeber XP ATI CCC having broken UVD, have u tried vista ? BTW, you'll need at least 2GB RAM to run vista to avoid excessive page file commit charge...

As far as I understand it (and I'm no expert on ATI), the 'new' generation of cards 2400XT+ hardware assist is only available on Vista, along the same lines as Nvidia 8400+ chipsets.

Well I read some good reports about Arcsort Total Media Theatre so I gave that a go.
Now it seems that hardware acceleration is working although the picture is still jittery. A lot better than before though.
I am not sure why, CPU runs around 30%, GPU less than 20%. Uses about 1.3GB RAM when running in Media Centre but only around 950MB when using their software directly - with the same result either way.
