For the most part, no, you can not use the Matrox DVD player in Win2k. It is not supposed to be Win2k compliant. I have seen a couple people claim it works, emphasis on a couple.

I have the 5.03 driver for Win2k and it works great, although your mileage may vary depending on your other hardware/software installed. Some use the 5.04 drivers for their MAX.

Other DVD players that work with Win2k are WinDVD and PowerDVD. I use WinDVD 1.3.5. WinDVD 2000 is also compatable with Win2k. Not sure about PowerDVD versions, although a number of other MURCers use it, so I'm sure they can help you with that.

I have tired both winDVD2000 and powerDVD 2.5, I could only get powerdvd to work on my system.. Nice picture, i use it with the 5.04 drivers.
