MPEG 1/2/4 Hardware Decoders ?

Hi there

ive been looking to get a hardware decoder card for mpeg1 mpeg2 and mpeg4. The only such card i know of is the Sigma Designs Realmagic X-card...


i would get this card BUT there is one problem. This requires the use of a VGA loop, where your graphics card's VGA-out connects to the card's VGA-in which connects to your VGA monitor....

Cable scheme:
A= GPU
B= Realmagic X-Card
C= Monitor
[ A VGA-out] <--> [B VGA-in] [B VGA-out] <---> [C VGA-in]

i have a DVI monitor.... so this "loop" would not work for me...

Does anybody know a way to get this working? Are there any alternative methods/products that will resul in hardware mpeg decoding?



Do the new geforce 6-series graphics cards have built-in hardware mpeg decoders?



thanks in advance..


 
Im not sure about 1 and 4 but i KNOW mpeg2 is supported. It is also working from what i have heard. So far the only thing that is not working for various reasons is WMV files.
