Wheres the new MATROX DVD player software????

[ccoltas]

I am looking at the Matrox website for the new matrox software DVD player.

Is this it?

http://shop.matrox.com:80/canada/products/datasheet.asp?ID=52

It says for the G200 though???

[FrankDC]

There was a note that said it was delayed by two weeks, something to do with CD label problems..

[ccoltas]

Fair enough. I'm still stuck with an inferior monitor and no 32-36" TV yet either. I can wait.

: )

Now all they need to do, is fixing the dvdplayback on pal-tv!

[drzaius]

is there a download place for the orginal MatroxDVD player? or possibly a better one? i lost my G400 CD i think i lent it to a friend and he says he brought it back but i don't remember

[Topha]

one of those friends
i think you can order an updated version from matrox, but i dont know if you need the original CD

[drzaius]

damn, alwell, i don't watch alot of DVD's, but would like the software on my comp. so i could if i wanted to
what other programs could i use that the G400 accelerates?

[Topha]

Try PowerDvd 3.0, i dont know if it supports matrox, but the quality is really good on my g400. if you have a fast cpu (400+) it should run smooth nontheless

[ccoltas]

When the New Matrox DVD player comes out, you can get it for like $5.00 or so.

The G4x0 does not accelerate DVD playback in any way.

This has the nice side-effect of us not having to favor one player over another just because of only one of them supports some specific acceleration.

[drzaius]

that powerDVD is pretty, good (almost as good as matrox )
shame it's only a 30day trial
alwell atleast i can now play DVD's

Slow people as easy to pass, it's people who drive fast that are hard.

Do the matrox G series video cards like my G400max have some sort of hardware compensation or something. Obviously their hardware does do something significant or there would be not difference playing a DVD with a low-end vid card and the G400 max for instance.

The new Matrox Software DVD player is available now on the matrox site:

RE: Matrox DVD Player

Your order, IN-946, is for 2 products:

Item 1. /M-DVDP/CD10I
Item 2. /M-DVDP/CD20I

Item # 2 is our new DVD Player, compatible with the Millennium G400 and G450 Graphic Cards. This CD is a full setup CD (not an updater) of the special Matrox edition of Cinemaster2000 and is supported under Windows98, WindowsME, and Windows2000. This CD also includes the 6.21 (win9x/ME) and 5.31 (win2k) display drivers.

You do not need item 1 for the installation of item 2.

Item # 1 is our DVD Player for Matrox G200 product series.


Please advise if you would like me to revise your order or do you require both products?

special!!! i told her to correct my order. i am using powerDVD with my g400 max now and it works great and i am hopeful that this edition of the cinemaster engine runs better being that it adapted for the g400

Buying a 32" TV very soon. If I have probs with the original Matox DVD player software I will upgrade it with the new one. If anyone gets it and uses it, let me know how it goes.

ccoltas,

i got notification from matrox that they have shipped the new version today(2/16/01). i should have it in 8-10 days and plan on testing it on my system.

i'll post back here and let everyone know how it performs under win2k.
