Win 7 -- Zoom Player fixed

After I installed the CCCP, Zoom Player was able to play MKV's and DVDs, but the video looked crappy because it was doing a pixel resize instead of a smooth resize.

The solution? Zoom Player is using PowerDVD's renderer, even for MKV files. (Don't ask me.) PowerDVD 6 (the one I have installed) caused all kinds of "You know, this has problems with Win 7" errors, but it ran anyway, at least well enough for me to get into its configuration and to tell it to use hardware acceleration.

Once I did that, MKV playback with Zoom Player looks great again, nicely smooth.
