   from Microsoft. 
* NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology
   The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-
   processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, 
   accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video. 
    - Discrete, Programmable Video Processor:
      NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA 
      GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies 
      with low CPU utilization and power. 
    - Hardware Decode Acceleration:
      Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and 
      SD movies. 
    - HDCP Capable:
      Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security 
      specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the 
      playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-
      compliant displays. 
    - Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing:
      Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive 
      displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end 
      home-theater systems. 
    - High-Quality Scaling:
      Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up 
      to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides 
      downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving 
      image detail. 
    - Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction):
      Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video, 
      providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality. 
    - Bad Edit Correction:
      When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 
      or 30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown 
      cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor 
      edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture   
      detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video. 
    - Noise Reduction:
      Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts. 
    - Edge Enhancement:
      Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and 
      objects.
