Haig: any word on Zoran SoftDVD updates

[LrngToFly]

Haig-

Wondering if you can update us as to when the new Zoran SoftDVD will be out. You stated that you've received the update for the Software only implementation a couple of months ago- any chance at releasing that?

Thanks.

Haig is on vacation this week...try again Monday

Hmmm, that will be our "heads up" for new drivers in the future: when Haig goes on vacation expect something to happen!

Just kidding... I'm sure Haig is a hard worker...

I almost forgot about that.....not!
I was also wondering if anything has happened here...

SoftDVD can work...
With my Marvel G200 I never got Zoran SoftDVD to work, as I have an AMD MMX chip, I didn't expect it to. (But I had a Creative DVD card, so didn't mind). I then bought a Diamond MX300 soundcard (coincidentally it came with Zoran SoftDVD, but again it didn't work). However, on Diamond's site there is a Zoran SoftDVD update to work with AMD etc, just out of curiousity I downloaded and installed it and then SoftDVD worked:
DVD901.EXE
(10,1 MB, 26-Apr-99) SoftDVD Update v2.125_9.01 for use with the Monster Sound MX300, rel. 0499. This version includes 2nd generation DVD drive support, AMD support and Multiregion 1-6 support. Note README!

It's at:

(ftp://ftp.diamondmm-europe.com/diamond/3daudio/msnd300/files.htm)

I'd like to know if someone without an MX300 could work out whether it works, at least everyone would know whether or not they could solve their SoftDVD problems by buying a fairly cheap (but good) sound card.

Anyone wanna offer an opinion about whether the diamond fix will also work on the software for the Hardware Daughtercard?

Haig: Any news on a 5.x driver set that will work with this infernal thing would be appreciated.

Sorry guys but I can't give out any release dates. All I can tell is that there will be a softDVD patch for zoran coming out soon.
