* Video Decoding Hardware Acceleration: H.264 (ATI Avivo, Intel ClearVideo, nVidia PureVideo), VC-1 (ATI)

I was wondering, why would VC-1 Hardware acceleration work for ATI alone ?
also, main features page shows "ONLY" H.264 Hardware acceleration for the lite version.

btw, are there any plans to support WMV playback, with or without hardware acceleration ?

Hello applejack,

Yes, that is true, Splash Lite supports hardware accelerated VC-1 playback on ATI GPUs (from HD 2xxx series up). VC-1 hardware acceleration for nVidia GPUs requires a different processing mode which will be supported in our VC-1 codec solution soon. It will also support WMV playback.

Best regards.

Working on it

Yeah WMV is *very* important. Yesterday I installed Splash on a friends PC and he just couldn't believe it wouldn't play his WMV files
