Duh!
That's how it's supposed to work. The decoder get's the video signal from you video card and overlays it's own signal onto it befor sending it to the monitor. But first is XOR's out a certain color in the dvd player's window. You can go into the control panel and actually change the color that it's using t overlay. But it will also XOR out any of that color within the dvd window's boundries even if something's in front of the player. Change it to overlay a color that you don't use very much on your desktop like purple or something, then you'll see the effect less.
