So how is the Mpeg Decoding on the Geforce FX?

Does NV30 feature full MPEG Decoding in hardware? Is this done via specific hardware or is it done on the Pixel Shaders?

GeForce FX includes a full MPEG decoder in the hardware. This is done with specific hardware, not the Pixel Shaders.

I thought all Geforce cards had DVD decoding. It's always been an advertised feature.

AFAIK all the Geforce series ever had was motion compensation, a la ATI circa 1997. If iDCT has finally been added (a la ATI circa 2000) then kudos to NVIDIA. Better incredibly late than never.
