Sounds to me like you are confusing this software with a software DVD player/decoder. Most systems should play DVD's through a built-in hardware decoder and display it on the screen in overlay mode. If you don't have built-in decoder, you can use software like WinDVD to read the DVD (still from a DVD drive) and the software does the decoding and displaying on the screen (which will usually slow the system down bad, potentially resulting in frame loss). You still need a DVD drive to read DVD's though. Regards, Frank
