Nvidia PureVideo. Why no HD playback in WMP11?

Need some help on this one please!

Just had a download session consiting of, FW91.82 drivers, PureVideo Trail, WMP11, and Supreme Commander HD Trailer.

However, the Trailer will playback only a little bit then stop and a message appears saying it can't be played back... blah blah... might not support the codec.

I have a look on the FAQ for the PureVideo Decoder and the icon is showing on the toolbar on the bottom of my screen when I load .mpeg movies as it should, and the codec is set as the prefered codec for the entire system as varified by the WindowsXP Decoder Utility.

So how come I can't play and HD stuff? The player bundled with the codec can't even find the movie when I browse to the folder?

Any ideas pleeeasee!! Thanks!

Hmm, thanks, how would I do that or similar on mine? In device manager?

Purevideo is only an MPEG2 decoder!

Is It?! So it don't do .wmv? Strange why it plays the start of the trailer fine... nevermind. :confused:

So what HD Codec can I use?

why use purevideo? i dont have it installed in Vista Beta 2, played Supreme commander HD trailer perfectly fine on WMP11 with beta Go 7800GTX driver

I'm guessing that just played but wasn't in High Def then?
