Also have a $225 690G box that also gets the job done - overclocked big time. I'm going to add a $80 8500 PCIE HDMI card to smooth that out.

Vista uses EVR. Don't know if that is good or bad, but how does one add a new rendender? I'll post another thread on how to disable those pesky digital driver signatures in Vista.
CL still is not solution. Can't get any audio sync no matter what I try, even with the 1.4 offset. Coreavc is the champ although it leaves a few H.264 letter boxed using 1.5. Coreavc 1.6 is out but have not tried that. Not a complaint - super happy here...!!
