Hi all,

I notice on the NVidia PureVideo Decoder pages, it mentions that the video & audio decoders within Foreware Multimedia App 3.00.50 will utilize the newer (better?) versions after PureVideo Decoder is installed as far as DVD playback goes.

Is there a procedure for enabling this usage of the newer decoders from within Forceware Multimedia App?

The reason I prefer to use Forceware Multimedia App is because I prefer it's user interface to that of WMP, and it's nice being able to "resume" a movie (I can find the "resume movie to previous location" function within WMP).

Thanks!

There's no special procedure, once installed FWMM will use the newer decoders.

Thanks for the speedy reply! Are the purevideo decoders worth the extra $$$ over FWMM? I'll be using on my Precision M70 (specs in my sig below), mainly for mobile DVD presentations/DVD watching on a TV.
I'm not too familiar with the pros & cons of Automatic versus Smart deinterlacing, or the pros & cons of Overlay vs VMR7 or VMR9, so any pointers there would be greatly appreciated.

I think it's worth it and I only play with WMP. I didn't get the FWMM app with my card and don't know how else to obtain it. Picture and sound are at least as good as WinDVD and PowerDVD, I think better and most professional reviews find it so to.

The decoder also has it's own media player. If you look in the install directory of the decoder, there is an NstantMedia.exe which is a media app..

yeah I just tried that and it seems pretty nice. On the older version I couldn't get it working but now I'm impressed.
