    Well I have Dxr3 from Creative, i`s good but there is problems.

    Right now I wach Matrix (again) and there is some sort of chopynes, is like frame rate is not high enough (24FPS by standards).

    Is O.K. until you don`t comeup to parts with dinamic scenes, I mean where you can feal how camera moves, don`t know how to explain in english corectly.

    On the parts where camera is static, and where only characters are moving everything is O.K. and runs smouth.

    This is problem for me, and I don`t like it at all, but picture quality is excelent, don`t know if problem is only with Matrix or with other movies also, don`t recal, and I have only Matrix for now, and I havent wach enything else for few months.

    I can play Q3A while I play movie and avrage FPS in Q3A are 55FPS with TNT2, so as you can see is not CPU related problem cous CPU letarly is not doing nothing while movie is played with Hardware decoder.

    I have 4X Toshiba DVD and while movie is played all DVDs work @ standard 1X speed, so I don`t think that my DVD is problem, my DVD is master device, no slave on that IDE chanel, and sometimes DVD player from creative freezes if I serach sertain chapter, also I cant enable DMA cous is not available for my IDE driver.

    If you planing to wach movies on the PC monitor then is better to stick with softwarre players but then you can only wach movie and nothing else you can`t do with your PC.
