Todd, How are you watching DVDs ? MVP doesn't have a dolby digital 5.1 decoder. Almost all dvds are encoded in 5.1. So are you re-encoding/downmixing the sound to 2 channel stereo ? Or you dvds have 2 channel stereo option.
When I tried to play some VOB files (renamed to mpg), I was able to watch DVD but no sound came. I also recorded programs from my HD3000 card. I had to downres to 720x480 and to 2 channel stereo using vlc in order to watch them via media mvp.
