I have Athlon 1.3/384R/Win98SE/ATI Radeon VE w/ drivers 7199 and tried PowerDVD XP and it's jerky and DVD movie is displayed on BOTH heads. This not normal as overlay is only supported on one head at a time. Thus, I don't think it's using overlays at all. Sound is fine but image is going at 15 FPS. PowerDVD 3.0, WinDVD 2000 v2.8, ATI 4.1, Cinemaster 2000, and Zoomplayer 2.12 all displays smoothly and perfectly with overlay showing on 1 head at a time. Tried bob, weave, auto without improvement. Tried hardware accel on and off--no go. Tried to uninstall and reinstall PowerDVD XP and it's the same. Ended up reinstalling PowerDVD 3.0 and all is well again.
The same program is very good on my TNT2 based 2nd PC upstairs with Win98SE but PII 400 Mhz based. Go figure. Probably another Radeon VE quirk/feature.
Anyone has any ideas? If image on my upstairs PC was not so good I would not care to try to get 4.0 to work
