Nvidia Decoder vs Purevideo Decoder

[phantomfsoc]

Just curious, is there a difference between the Nvidia decoder that came out a few months ago and the "Purevideo" one that came out a few days ago? On the site it says that if you have a previous version of the decoder you'll have to buy the New one when the webstore comes back online...

Anyone know?

I downloaded the purevideo one and used my serial number info from 1.00.67 and it worked fine for me.

Nvidia decoder that came out a few months ago vs Purevideo one that just came out a few days ago are still base on the same Nvidia decoder and only real diff was High-Def Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing and belive they all so add 2-2 pull down.
