About time but it probably won't compete with CoreAVC.

lol @ them using a screenshot from the ONLY platform that this feature doesn't work on  ;D

Sounds cool though, but odds are its gonna affect a very small amount of people.  If you're gonna download a high quality movie, I don't see any reason to go above 720p which handles fine on all CPU's Ive watched them on.

I'll cum buckets though if I find out that 3dsmax supports CUDA one of these days, though.

1080p is great and while a dual core can handle 1080p and 720p playback, it's a lot nicer to use CUDA. Not to mention there's DXVA (I think that's what it's called) but I've tried a bunch of players and codecs and nothing tops CoreAVC. They pushed a GPU to the limit and played something like 18 1080p videos before it started to stutter.
