I have a new system I built with MSI radeon 9550SE graphics, outputting over
s-video to a 27" CRT. Watching tv through media center works fine, but I
cannot get DVDs to work properly. I've tried the newest decoders from
nvidia, cyberlink, and intervideo. I get jerky motion and sound from all of
them. I've tried several different catalyst versions. Nothing works.

If I play a DVD in WinDVD, it works perfectly, but not in media center or
media player. When I run the dvd decoder checkup utility, I see that there
is an old sonic decoder still in there from when I first installed the
software that came with the dvd-rom. Is there a way to get that out?

Hi!

Just be sure that your DVD decoder/encoder are MCE 2005 certified. The
original Sonic Decoder/Encoder works fine in media center. While in media
center many resources are shared at different cpu allocations, which are
different when they are running outside of media center. Think of Media
Center as an operating system not just another application that you can add
to Windows XP. So try removing your WinDVD driver that were added by WinDVD
and reinstall the Sonic driver, You could also call WinDVD support to see if
they have an updated or different Media Center 2005 driver.
