I'm having problems with certain DVDs during playback. Some work well and others playback with quite a bit of noise and oversized pixels. I'm using the GL Mpeg decoder and have tried using every other decoder in the book. Any suggestions? At one time I used the PowerDVD decoder and it worked well but it seems Sterescopic player doesn't like the lastest they have to offer. Any way I can find an old version of PowerDVD's decoder? Thanks. | ||

It is oposite. Latest Power DVD decoder is protected from usage from non-aouthorized user interface. The Decoder does not like the player. You must use older version of PowerDVD 4.0 to make it working .... | ||

The GPL MPEG Decoder has the following restrictions: 1) It doesn't play copyprotected (encrypted) DVDs for legal reasons (e.g. IMAX Ultimate G's). I'm very sorry that I neighter can offer a version which allows playback of encrypted discs nor can I ship it with the player (it is a separate download). Both issues would be easy fix from a technical point of view, but cause legal troubles. 2) It doesn't play some non-standard DVDs. Most amateur copies of VHD discs don't work. In this case, using an old PowerDVD decoder is recommened. (Everybody is invited to improve the decoder -- the source is available at SourceForge.) I recommend to use the GPL MPEG Decoder whenever it is possible, because it is one of the few decoders which interpolates the color component of interlaced 4:2:0 format properly to 4:2:2. Improper interpolation causes color ghosting. | ||

Thanks for the input. I'm dealing with more of a situation #2 listed above. I have my VHDs backed up onto DVD and they do not play that well. Where might I be able to find an older version of PowerDVD? | ||
