I have one of these lying about. So I am wondering if I can use this for outputting divx's or whatever?

I assume that i would have to use some hack or program or whatever.

Any help appreciated.

It's an odd card. To the best of my knowledge, there's no way to directly access its framebuffer. There are a few solutions out there, like this one, that work around the problem by decoding the divx, re-encoding it as a high bitrate I-frame-only MPEG, then send that to the card. Less than ideal from the CPU use point of view, but the quality of the card's TV output is phenomenal.

thought that it would work but it seems that page is for linux only and I am too much of an idiot to figure out how to do what it suggests

There is a program, which will play anything through it. Its slightly buggy ( have to restart it a few times to get picture right) . I can't remember what its called right now, but I'll dig it up on my pc at home.
