Can someone recommend a stable DVD player to run on my Win2K (SP2) box? My video is a G400, if that matters.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Most people will agree that Power DVD 3.0 is one of the best DVD software out there. Another highly recommended DVD software is WinDVD 3.0Primary system specs:
Asus A7V266-E | AthlonXP 1700+ | Alpha Pal8045T | Radeon 8500 | 256mb Crucial DDR | Maxtor D740X 40gb | Ricoh 8/8/32 | Toshiba 16X DVD | 3Com 905C TX NIC | Hercules Fortissimo II | Antec SX635 | Win2k Pro -
I vote for Power dvd 3.0
But have to install the lastest patch.

Hmmm. I was just looking over the PowerDVD specs at CyberLink's web page. I didn't any Matrox cards listed among those video chipsets supported (http://www.gocyberlink.com/english/p...patibility.jsp).
My recollection is that the G400 has some sort of hardware acceleration for DVD playback. Am I misremembering or is it that PowerDVD just doesn't support Matrox cards?
Thanks.Comment

The G400 doesn't have any hardware acceleration for DVD. PowerDVD 3.0 worked fine on my G400 MAX when I used it. I use WinDVD 3.0 now.Comment

Without a doubt you should use WinDVD. WinDVD rocks, and it blows away PowerDVD. PowerDVD XP, and version 4, are both supposed to come close to WinDVD, but there is still a difference. If you get WinDVD PRO, you also get software DTS decoding!
