Creative DXR3 + other player?
This is a discussion about Creative DXR3 + other player? in the Windows Hardware category; I was finally able to get my DXR3 to work using creative's beta drivers, but while the application works it's pretty crappy (video must have a border, can't make it always on top, etc. ) for watching movies in non-full screen.
I was finally able to get my DXR3 to work using creative's beta drivers, but while the application works it's pretty crappy (video must have a border, can't make it always on top, etc.) for watching movies in non-full screen. Are there any other dvd players that can use the DXR3? I installed PowerDVD to see if that could use the hardware, but if it can I can't get it to. Any suggestions?

I ahvent been able to find any. Im talking to intervideo now. I actually cough... bought... (honest) their new windvd software that is supposedly 5.1 compatible. So... since I bought it I'm hoping their support kicks ass. The creative one ( see previous post) crashes my computer. Sucks. Win DVD 2000 looks AMAZING. But who wants prologic. I didnt buy klipsch speakers to hear movies in STUNNING prologic

I actually fixed the two problems I was having . It was all jittery, and I couldn't get it to be on top, but I found options for both in the configurations.
The actual quality of the Pc-Encore blows. THe video isnt sharp at all. In my opinion at least. F'in beta crap <kicks dirt> damnit.... <grumble>

You know, I'm only running a crappy PII 333Mhz (but with 192Mb RAM), a Creative 6x DVD and Encore Dxr3 decoder card, and my movies play very well in Win2K. Nothing jittery, full-screen or partial screen, no crashing, sharp image, etc.
I'm using the Creative beta drivers + the registry hack someone on this board posted.

It doesn't matter what your system specs are (within reason) for a hardware dvd decoder, as the card is doing all of the work.
Hey mike3411, could you please tell me how you fixed the choppy video with the WinDVD 3.0. I downloaded the trial verson and it is pretty crappy, but it found the 5.1 setup. Thanks.

Works fine for some, didn't work for me. Everything appears to work differently on different people's computers, the H+ drivers/software didn't work on mine, but the Creative beta stuff works great.

Sorry, I ment to say powerDVD, my bad, I was thinking of other DVD players in my head and I typed windvd. ID10T error here. So how did you fix it?

I never had any problems with Power DVD, the only "problem" was that it decodes the DVD via software, not taking advantage of my hardware decoder card.

I didn't. PowerDVD is a software dvd decoder, and as I explored it more I realized there IS no way to have it use a hardware dvd card, as that's not what it's for. The problems I did fix were with Creative's player, when I found options to get it to stop being squiggly and have it always on top.
