Hitachi GD2000 DVD-ROM

[Spree 0]

I've done some research, visited most websites, and what I've read is that I cannot play my dvd movies with my current DVD-ROM drive unless I buy a decoder card. But my question is, is this a fact? Must I get a decoder card, because I have no pci slots free. So it'd be great if someone had win2k beta drivers for Hitachi DVD-ROM drives.

 

Thanks,

There is a neat app called VLC Media Player which can play DVDs without a decoder. It's even free (and open source)!

It supports DVD playback, network streaming, and some other cool things. get it at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

 

PS: I use it all the time. Works great!
