  • [HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP] Matrox DVD Player

    I have a DSR-600H DVD Rom.

    'Til now, it has given me a lot of problems.

    For example DVDs being rejected while playing, DVDs not been recognised, DVDs that are playing and stops at random moments, locking the player...

    Well...
    Yesterday was my birthday, and a good friend has given me Abyss. I've tried a lot of time to play the title, but every time without results; sometimes, windows refuse to see there is a DVD into the driver.

    Just to try someting different, I've installed Power DVD 2.5, and it has given me no probs.


    So, do someone know if I can fix the Matrox DVD player to play my titles?

    There is good news and bad news: First, the bad news.

    The Matrox/Zoran player is total crap.

    Now, the good news: Cinemaster, MGI SoftDVD, and Power DVD will work perfectly with the Matorx Cards with and without the DVD decoder module.

    If you are having problems with the DVD drive, make sure it set as the primary master on whatever IDE channel you have: you might also need to check whether the drive itself is region-locked. There might be a firmware upgrade to "fix" that problem.

    I should think that Cods, Greebe or Himself would have the bookmark to the DVD drive page that will walk you through identfying and setting your DVD drive up to be Region Free.

    Best,

        Which video card are you using? Are you using the G200 or G400 Matrox video cards?

        The Zoran player came with the G200-series add-on daughter card. The Cinemaster player came with the G400-series cards.

        Also, don't use the Abyss as a judge of correct operation. It is the only DVD my computer won't play.

          I own a G400 32MB DH.

          I do not use Abyss as judje, I simply noticed that the playback of every CD I have tryed (is it the correct spelling?) is totally a ****.

          I've tried in the last few minutes Matrix and Abyss with Power DVD, and it all work good.


          Anyway, does it exist a way to install a few DVD engines on a PC, and have a software that give the choose on which to use (for example, I have PCFriendly, that ask wich engine I have) ?
