Test Your Computer's Video To The Max

Not sure. Doubt it. Unless your dvd player can play wmv 9.0 pro. encoded files. Think only a few can. Would have to look at micorosoft.com to find out what models. I know there is at least one cause I remember hearing about it. Not only that it can even play divx.

Coral Reef 720p played well considering I am under the reccommended requirements.  No major hiccupps at all.  I will try T2 1080p sometime.  I have the Extreme Edition DVD with thew whole movie in 1080p...I doubt that it will play well if at all.

Thanks for the link.

Sweet. Can I get it from you?

Just want a copy for later when I upgrade my computer again. Next time I do I'm going to make sure I can play all of them.

Plus it plays ok as now, sound skips a little. Processor cant keep up.

All I need is a new mother board, procssor, and montor. And I'll be good to go.

Already got one if not the best damn sound card on the market. I think its the best.

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.

Well that and some 7.1 speakers to go along with it. My 4.1 are good enough for me for now though.

Might just buy it if not.

@ War59312 - Get what from me?

@Wase - Even if you could burn it to dvd, had a dvd player that could read WMV, and had it hooked up to an HDTV it still wouldn't matter because even the best dvd players can only output a 480 progressive signal at best. To take advantage of the 1080p signal you could only use good crt computer monitor as even the best HDTV's will accept either a nataive 720p or a 1080interlaced signal. HDTV runs in 1080i and a 1080p signal is the same as a 2160i signal....way to high for any HDTV made...

...although you could get away with hooking up your computer to your HDTV using a video card with a DVI out and viewing in 720p...that's what I am about to do- then to get the sound you would have to out the sound with 5.1 channels (hopefully via an optical or coaxial digital cable) to a good reiever like my Yamaha RX-V1400 and have a good six speaker setup...then you would have some serious viewing pleasure.

Any way you can get to watch tose videos is great because they are f'n beautiful on any system that they will play on. Good luck!
