Hi, you could have chances to get dvds working ok if you use a different software. I currently have PIII-450 w/256Mb and xine is ready to play dvds just perfect since quite some time. My gfx card is a G400 with 32Mb video ram tho. Anyway checkout xine.sourceforgge.net and xine.cjb.net. Installation is quite painless and it works *very* good. Important performance factors are the X version (X4 here) and Xv too. Also using raw devices gives some performance gain. All that tuning measures are provided on those websites and you can use the "Wiki Wiki Web" on www.linuxvideo.org as well for some tuning tips. After applying all these tuning steps my CPU is now at ~ 60% load while playing dvds seamlessly. hth, Rolf
