What video card are you using? If you want to watch DVD movies on your TV your best bet is either getting an ATI video card with TV out or a dedicated DVD decoder card. Software decoders are generally of poor quality compared to hardware decoders. ATI uses hardware assisted decoding which looks just as good as long as you have a PII 400MHz or higher processor and you do. If you are using the i815 chipset for your video, I would suggest upgrading to a dedicated video card. You can get the ATI Rage Fury for under $100. Otherwise, get a dedicated DVD decoder card with TV out.
