i can play my dvds normally but the picture is bad, colors are not right and looks blurred. I tried using different dvd softwares and installed the recent vid card drivers but still does not work. Any suggestions?

check your codecs as well as the quality of the format of the file.

i was able to play dvds now normally but i had to lower the hardware acceleration to disable all direct draw and direct3d. Is there any way i can play dvds without having to turn this down?

so you can play em when you turnoff direct3d? thats weird that shouldnt affect video formats...

i was also surprized, this was the 1st time I had to turn down hardware acceleration for anything. It does play btw even if D3d is on but the colors are not right but when I try to capture the images it displays normally.

I adjusted the gamma with the program that came with nvidia driver. Its more of a pixelated and color problem than a gamma problem but if it has somthing to do with i would like to know what i could do.
