shuki · Mar 12, 2003, 07:09 PM

how is the mmc anyway?? I've just always used either powerDVD or WMP.... thinking now about trying this new mmc with me 9700pro. Any thoughts?

i used to have a rage, and the dvd player is awesome, i still prefer over powerdvd. now i got a damn gf4mx. definately try out the ati dvd, rest of their multimedia stuff is ok, like the tv-in. and if u got a rage card u can use the new mmc but they never say it bastards!

The dvd player is really good and the other stuff aint bad either. the best thing though is the dvd playback quality

the ati mmc is pretty good. I still use powerdvd though to be honest.

ati dvd mmc uses the cyberlink coding, so no there isnt. some say the interface is nicer. not sure I agree.

Lol, the interface....

Ah the DVD codecs make noticeable differences? I wonder which would be the best, then... cuz I've seen a few thru the upgrades of MMC.

I think there were: RAVISENT, CineMaster, cyberlink I guess . . . what else?

Argh wish I paid more attention... can't remember the little details well . . .

i did find better dvd playback with the ati rage, im using a msi gf4 mx440, and the intrface is simpler. WinDVD is horrible, it lags every fucking 5 mins. PowerDVD feels a little gay but im stuck wit it. How's this new NVDVD crap by nvidia?

the weird thing is that although i know powerdvd and the new decoder are both made by cyberlink for some reason the MMC DVD seems sharper than PowerDVDXP to me.....also in any other DVD Player app i have this odd issue with movies having slight black lines when fast action happens....especially with the Buffy DVD's.

In MMC i see it much less and it just seems smoother and sharper.......the smoother and sharper could be my imagination but the lines showing up less definitely is not

ati software owns, i found my rage way more stable than this damn mx 440, but its more power but isnt much compared to the standard, o well, r9800 or r9700 pro coming my way witha 3.2 HT, then we'll see some serious dvd performance with my audigy hehe.
