NVIDIA released a new set of NVIDIA Forceware drivers today. One of the highlights of this release is the inclusion of NVIDIA's new PureVideo HD technology which provides hardware acceleration for decoding H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 movies.
Movie lovers can now build a PC to enjoy a spectacular HD DVD or Blu-ray experience with the release of new NVIDIA Forceware drivers featuring NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology. PureVideo HD technology combines high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing to deliver extraordinary picture clarity, smooth video, brilliant color, and precise image scaling for high definition movies. The drivers are available now from NVIDIA.com.

"This is a milestone in PC entertainment," said Scott Vouri, general manager of multimedia at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA is proud to be the first graphics processing company in the world to make it possible for consumers to build or upgrade a PC to play HD DVD and Blu-ray movies."
Keep in mind that you will need an HDCP compliant video card and monitor if you plan to play HD DVD and Blu-ray movies at high resolutions. More information on PureVideo HD can be found on NVIDIA's website. Add a comment

The staff here at CDRLabs has been impressed with the level of knowledge and expertise our readers have exhibited over the years. With this in mind, we are launching a user submitted article program. For each article accepted and published, CDRLabs will pay $25US (cash or equivalent in products).

Articles must be:
1. Original content written by the submitter

2. Semi-related to the rest of the content on the website (optical storage, multi-media, etc)

3. Submitted in .doc or .txt format with pictures as .jpg or .png
Articles will be edited for grammar and spelling and large pictures will be resized. If you have any questions, please post them in the forum.

On a semi-related note, we are looking to expand our staff by adding one or two software reviewers. These people must be able to work on their own, be motivated and work under deadlines. In return, you'll be able to check out the latest software. If you're interested, send me an email. Add a comment
