Question on Software DVD player at Matrox Store

[TnT]

The software DVD player for the G200s cost $10, and I'm guessing it is Cinemaster based. Is it worth it for my Marvel G200? Will it really give me some performance gain since I only have a G200? Right now I'm using the DVD player included with Windows (look in the cab files for dvdplay.exe). I tried PowerDVD, but it didn't have a rewind, and didn't perform any better then the Windows player.

If you want, give me your E-Mail and I send the Matrox DVD Player on that of the CD for the G400 to you . MfG)Charly(

I doubt you'd see much difference at all. But for 10$...what the hell.

The DVD software they sell for the G200 is NOT cinemaster based. It is Zoran, and it generally sucks large rocks. You may as well use the $10 bill for toilet paper

The ONLY reason to use the Zoran software is if you have the Zoran DVD add-on card for your G200...and if that is the case, it's a different version than the one they are selling (software decoding vs. hardware w/ the DVD module).

Don't waste your money unless you have a hardware based module...in which case...the software you need is contained in the CD that you recieved with the hardware.

Which means you don't need to spend the money.

Get it?

e-mail in my profile...but necessary only if you own a hardware module for the G200.
