Hollywood+ DVD mpeg decoder card drivers?
Hello everyone, I'm trying to get the above card to work with Windows Whistler beta 2 build 2419, but had no luck so far. The 2. 0 drivers from either Videologic or Sigma Designs for Win2000 won't work.

I can install the driver and it is recognized as "working properly" in Device manager, but when starting the player app I get the message "MCI Error! - Unknown problem while loading the specified device driver.".

no doubt. You realize that about 90 % of the drivers that ship with MS's operating systems are made by the companies themselves. So if a piece of hardware is having a problem, blame the manufacturer, and you'll have to wait until the manufacturer sends another driver release for XP to MS for them to add in
Don't email Sigma Designs either. It's a beta OS. They SHOULD have drivers when Whistler goes into RC form but they probably won't because there will not be a demand for the OS. Complain to the company on final release of the OS.
I don't remember if the drivers worked for me when I last tried Whistler. I think they did.

I have 2419 and H+ has not worked on any build up to this point. Last nite I just gave up My symptoms exactly matched yours)and used PowerDVD 3.0, that seemed to play very well.
Sigma product of mine has been problematic from the beginning, but until DVD support/acceleration got built into Video cards in a fundamental way, and along with faster processors, it ruled. I still like the card. When using ME or W2K, I got an error hardware subvendor ID missing, and until I ran the hwsubid.exe I got from Sigma, it would not work there either. Hmmm, maybe I will try that tonite. (probably won't help, but, hey).

Uh, D'oh, Ignore the last sentence about the subvendor ID fix, that was for my other problematic add on card, WinTV, I am getting my cards mixed up.
Sorry.
