G400 DVD player Upgrade

[northdan]

I would like to know if it is worth it to upgrade the DVD player of the G400 with the one of the G450 (upgrade CD)

And if yes, can someone tell me were to get the upgarde.

Thanx a lot

No one can tell me if the upgrade is worth it!

In a word, no...

There are many others that are far superior. I've used Power DVD 3.0 (Multichannel version), with no issues as well as version 4.0 (Works perfectly with the G400).

I'm currently using WinDVD-DTS on both my Workstation and Gaming machines and it also works flawlessly.

Both of these players support Dolby Digital and DTS decoding.

PowerDVD doesn't work with XP yet if that's the OS you're running

[MultimediaMan]

WinDVD does, though...

Thank you

Hey Multimedia Man,

How is the DTS decoding on WinDVD??

Any Comments?

DTS works one of two ways: S/PDIF output or 6 Channel Decoded...I've been using 6 channel analog decoding with no problems.

I haven't felt the need for S/PDIF decoding when I've already got 6 channel out put from my Sound cards: I've tested it with both the Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and the Philips Acoustic Edge both work great.

PowerDVD 3 runs perfectly under XP.
