WinDVD Problem
I installed WinDVD 5 Platinum on my P4 3.0/XP system. It plays movies okay,
but for some reason the options to "Use Hardware Decode Acceleration" and "Use Hardware Color Acceleration" are not available (unchecked and greyed out) under Video Hardware Configuration. Anyone understand this? I am running a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with nVidia 45.23 drivers. Thanks. -- Paladin Remove "NOSPAM" to reply: |

I remember 5.1.05.011 doing that and it was fixed in the latest 5.1.05.015 build currently available. Just redownload WinDVD from InterVideo's site and it should clear up that problem of having those boxes greyed out. |

I have version 5.1 B05.015, which appears to be the latest version. I wonder
if there is a compatibility problem with the latest GeForce cards. I'll post if I fnd out... Thanks for the reply. "Wanderer" wrote in message ...

That's odd then. Maybe it's a problem with the video driver version you're running. Who knows. It's just odd as only the .011 exhibited this documented problem (all prior WinDVD5 builds didn't have this problem) and I did personally experience it myself on both my systems (GF4Ti4400 on one, GFFX5200 on the other) and the problem disappeared with the .015 build. |
