I see there are lots of long threads about Nvidia pure video, but they mostly contain complaints that wmv9 decoding doesn't work on all cards. But I have read posts from people that claim they have got WMV9-decoding to work. I have a Geforce 6600 GT and I have installed the 67.03 drivers and latest Nvidia decoder. I can play DVD?s and HDTV content and have the Nvidia decoder decode that, but I can't get it to decode wmv9. The Nvidia decoder filter just isn't loading. In Anandtech's article it says that you need a patch for Windows Media Player. Is this patch available, or is there some other way of enabling wmv9-decoding?
I also have another strange thing on my Geforce 6600 card. When I play a wmv-clip a file named dxva_sig.txt is created that only contain the letter B. This happens with all players except Windows Media Player. Another strange thing is that in media player classic and Nvidias own nstant media utility the cpu doesn't go above ~80 % although the video plays very choppy. In media player the cpu is at 100% and it plays smoother.
