The NVidia and Elecard decoders are known to work well, and have 21/30 day trial versions http://www.elecard.com/products/products-pc/codec-pack/mpeg2-decoder-plugin/ http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html HTH Cheers - Neil ------------------------------------------------ Digital Media MVP : 2004-2007 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/mvpfaqs
