G400 DVD Capabilities

[X-Caliber]

Hey,

Aside from DVD MAX, I was wondering what other DVD enchancements there were under the G400? Bob/Weave? Hardware Motion Compensation?

From the G400 spec sheet:

Hardware acceleration for DVD playback (beware, this is DVD acceleration in the "marketing" sense)

• Full hardware subpicture support with alpha-blended overlay for high quality DVD playback or WebTV like user interfaces:
• Aspect ratio conversion supported for proper display of 4:3 and 16:9 content
• Hardware support for BOB and Weave, with subpixel compensation, for high-quality de-interlacing
• AGP 4X bus mastering of video data (with planar and packed pixel support)

So the G400 does not have motion compensation or other strictly DVD specific functions, but pretty good generic video acceleration.
