Doesnt the v3xt card have a hardware MPEG-2 decoder? Maybe this decoder only works with a single display? Try disabling TV-out and see if this solves your problem, if it does im guessing its a decoder/driver issue. I would suggest trying out different drivers.

Otherwise as GitsLM says, it might be some crazy copy protection scheme, what DVD's have you tried playing?

Btw, i noticed you had some problems with the compress option in MP just like i do. Did you manage to get it to work, and did you try VMW and MPEG-2 as well as Xvid?

Hi,

it is a "copy protection" introduced with SP1 of Windows XP afaik. Windows does simply not allow playback of DVD through S-Video Out....

I used WinXP SP2 with S-Video out for a while and encountered no such problems. If this is the problem i would suggest downloading the trial version of *** which decrypts DVD's on a driver level. If this is indeed such a protection scheme, then it should work with *** installed.

Hi,

it is the "macrovision" "copy protection", usually this is not active on all DVDs. This is also imho, if the graphics card can produce the signal, the tv out will not be blocked. What do you have?

You may try this hint:

Or the software ziphnor mentioned.
