Yep, I understand your viewpoint. However, at present for a variety of reasons my inbox is already seeing very heavy traffic and subscribing to even a low volume list won't make things any better. I'll check the subscription page... if there's a digest option I might do it. > Could be the same problem that Apple's MPEG-2 decoder has: lack > of DPME (Dual Prime Motion Estimation) decoding support. > > What happens if you play the DVD using Ogle?

Between my initial post and now I have since discovered that including B frames in the stream does fix the problem. What is it about the B frames which makes this particular player happy with the I frames which are of course still there? Do DVD hardware players in general work with streams containing no B frames?
