HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY
======================
* Complete multi-channel (4 or 6) and SPDIF/Toslink sound device support,
including
(but not limit to) those made by Analog Devices, Aureal, Creative,
Cirrus/Crystal,
CMedia, ESS, Fortemedia, KCTech, Philips/VLSI, Realtek, Sigmatel, SiS, TI,
Yamaha,
VIA and any other sound device that supports the Microsoft
WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE
interface.
Popular sound cards supported include but not limited to:
Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 family
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy family
Hercules GameTheater XP
Philips Acoustic Edge
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
VideLogic Sonic Fury
It is recommended that you always install the latest driver from the
original
card/device maker but not use any Windows built-in drivers in order for this
function
to work properly.
* Supports video playback acceleration hardware in display chips or
integrated chipsets
from ATI, Intel, NVidia, PowerVR, SiS, Trident and VIA/S3. Acceleration
functions
include Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform (iDCT; only for ATI), Hardware
Motion
Compensation and Subpicture Alpha Blending units.
Display cards from any other vendor that provide DirectDraw overlay
capability are
also supported.
With the newly evolved Microsoft DirectX Video Acceleration API, DVD
acceleration
hardware can be utilized not only under Windows ME and Windows 98 but also
under
Windows XP and Windows 2000. PowerDVD XP 4.0 is fully compliant with DirectX
VA and
is Microsoft WHQL certified.
If "Hardware Acceleration" is enabled, on some systems you might notice
subtitles in
interesting colors. This is because the display driver only supports an old
format
of Microsoft DirectX VA interface. It is recommended that you install the
latest driver
from the original card/chip maker in order for this function to work
flawlessly.
However, if the problem still persists after using the latest driver, under
Windows 2000
or Windows XP, you will have to disable the the "Hardware Acceleration"
option. Under
Windows ME and Windows 98, renaming the file "
CLDXVA.AX
" under the CyberLink
PowerDVD
program folder will force the program to use the vendor-specific proprietary
interfaces
and not DirectX VA. Thus, the acceleration hardware may still be utilized
through this
method.
* PowerDVD XP 4.0 is fully optimized for multimedia instruction sets such as
AMD 3D Now! Professional, Enhanced 3D Now!, 3DNow!, Intel Streaming SIMD
Extensions 2
(SSE2), SSE and MMX.
* Compatible with new DVD-RAM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+RW or DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive
with
1394, ATAPI, SCSI or Card Bus interface, as long as the drive conforms to
the SFF8090
command set and SBP-2 (if applicable).
* Compatible with all Socket 478, Socket 423, Socket370, Slot1, SocketA and
SlotA
chipsets from Intel, VIA, SiS, ALi and AMD. Also compatible with Transmeta
Crusoe
systems.
