I just have to say the G400 Max plays DVD's ever so well! But I *do* have a couple of questions for those who have had more experience:
First the pertinent specs: P3-450, Asus P2B-F mobo, 128 Mb PC-100 RAM, G400 MAX, Pioneer 10X 104S DVD-ROM (yes it's RPC-2 region locked, but I doubt I'll go outside region 1 within the next year or so), SB Live!value, Optiquest V95 19" monitor (16X12 max res).
Now the questions:
1) I can run the Matrox DVD player under 1024X768. If I try to go any higher and then start the player, I get an "insufficient memory for DVD overlay", but if I increase the resolution *after* starting the player, it seems to work fine. Is the player still working in 1024X768 the second time, or is this a workaround for a "bug?"
2) With "The Matrix" (widescreen version) I can access all the controls except for the "Special Features" from the root menu. The video just freezes (but I can still access the player controls), and I have to use the "back" button on the panel control to reactivate the video. I don't have this problem with other DVD's. Does this option only work with set-tops on "The Matrix?"
Thanks for any help!
