Heya,
For a long time, I used the realmagic hollywood player plus for DVD playback on my PC, then switched to a laptop and lost that, now I'm back in a desktop machine again and using an 8800GT. I'm just using the latest detonator drivers from nVidia's site.
I run my 22" LCD at 1680x1050. I use WinDVD7 for playback. I have my Auzentech X-Plosion cinema outputting the 5.1 dolby to my speakers which is great, but the video playback in WinDVD7 is very unimpressive. The screen is grainy, sometimes blocky. I played the DVD in VLC and it didn't look much different, so now I'm wondering if the DVD playback through the 8800GT is just not that great?
Anyone else using a gaming videocard for DVD playback on the PC as well, and having a problem with the video quality? I'm wondering if my resolution is too high for the playback, or if there's something I can do to make this better or if I'm missing something? I read reviews that WinDVD7 was simply the best for playback (better than 8 and 9 even), so I'm disappointed to say the least so far.
Looking for suggestions if the 8800GT is to blame.
Very best,
