Ditto, this is off the radar for a reason. Nobody wants a third option for HD disks. We're all frustrated enough figuring out options 1A and 1B.

The NVidia cards are not going to be your best choice for HD. Sure, they're your best choice for gaming, but getting your hands on one is crapshoot.
The ATi cards have HD decoding and audio built in, from the bottom range up. Personally, I'd get a 3850--good for gaming and HD!

I was kind of hoping HDVMD had something to do with streaming Medic8r over the web at 1080p.

I would agree with Ken, Randy. If no gaming then you'd be better off with a Radeon since they have hardware HD decoding while the GeForce chipset only has hardware decoding for one encoding only (VC-1?)
