thanks!

Yes .mkv files for the most part are not quite up unless they have the data.... most of the stuff I see on the internet are ~ 1 gig some ~ 4 gigs are pretty darn good, but capturing 1080i can be double to ten times the information, so the loss is all in the compression and how it's handled. Don't look at the resolution as much as the size vs time.. If you're close to a HD broadcast tower, put an antenna up and you'll see broadcasts that will best Shaw. That graphic card from ATI is of the 3000 series which has hardware decoding for some .mkv, files... You need Media Player Classic Home Cinema from
http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/ ATI Radeon HD series for H.264 and VC-1 decoding :Windows XP users, select Overlay Mixer, VMR7, VMR9 or VMR9 renderless and you'll be able to free up your CPU for other tasks.
I've eclipsed most HD broadcast PQ with selective files if the data is present.
Pixel mapping is basically... for ever given pixel on your PC, it should also be reflected on the panel display....
Does your HDTV support 1:1 pixel mapping?
