PC restarts when playing DVD's

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

My AGP video card is an ATI 7500 Radeon All In Wonder video capture card (composite and S-video IN/OUT), also have a Pinnacle Studio DC10Plus capture card (composite and S-video IN/OUT) connected. Both work correctly and so does my DVD rom. I am able to watch commercial DVD movies via ATI DVD player, Windows Media Player, Real Player and Power DVD (removed now).

In case you are refering to a DVD burner, the Pinnacle software has provisions in their software for burning DVD's suitable for a set top DVD player. So everything should work fine with a DVD burner as well.

Sadly maybe you bought the wrong hardware or something is misconfigured (all updates done for both software and firmware?).

Over course, if one tries to input copywrited (sp?) video either DVD or VHS expect capture buttons to be greyed out to disallow capture. In the case of VHS the video usually brightens / darkens intermittantly (tried that).

Hope this helps you, Wes
