NVIDIA Says No to Releasing Codec

by Anand Lal Shimpi on February 14, 2008 12:00 AM EST


This year for Valentine's Day, I hung out with NVIDIA.  Dudes from NVIDIA nonetheless.  I can't talk much about the products we went over but I did get a chance to clear up one misconception.

It seems that after a conversation at CES someone got the idea that NVIDIA would be releasing its own video codec, for the first time since the initial PureVideo launch.  This was news to me when I first heard it but I confirmed with NVIDIA that it's absolutely not true.  

NVIDIA will continue to rely on 3rd parties to provide all codecs, it will simply provide the necessary hooks for the codec developers to tie in to NVIDIA's PureVideo HD hardware.
