Playing DVDS
« on: September 24, 2005, 02:45:15 PM »
We are unable to play many DVD's on the PC. We have an 800mhz AMD Duron and a ATI Rage Fury Pro. Do we need a hardware decoder?

We have 256mb and the graphics card has 32mb. According to Dxdiag, directx is running fine. Tried to install the lastest driver from the ATI site, according to DXdiag we have a Rage Fury Pro/Xpert 2000 Pro, however when i tried to install the lastest driver I recieved an error message saying it wasn't compatible with the display adapator.

Are there any better drivers?

That's the one I've tried.

It manages to play some however with others the DVD drive light flashes continously until the DVD is removed and that's it.
Platform is Windows ME.
