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 ... 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....

Thanks again. I don't think we even have Hdtv broadcasts (over the air) here. (Victoria, BC)
I usually have 1080p movies (~ 1.5-2 hour) at 8.1 GB, and the 720p movies at 4.3 GB... and 720p TV shows (45 min) at just over 1GB.
The tip about Media player classic is good...thanks. I usually use VLC, but don't seem to have any processor issues. Media player classic is a great program too though... my second choice. Or my first, if it's on my old P3 sony vaio laptop.
