Which part you are confusing with?
1 - Install the latest nVidia driver
2 - Install nVida DVD decoder
3 - Install the latest Media Player from Microsoft
4 - Check the result if result are better.

Only problem with this is - unless I'm missing something, you need to BUY
the DVD decoder. I bought the video card, why should I need to buy nVidia's
DVD decoder for the onboard video processor to function?

What are you talking about regarding Decoder?
Are you referring to third-parties DVD software like WinDVD / PowerDVD or
there?

The ForceWare driver will be available shortly on the NVIDIA.com and the
NVIDIA's DVD decoder is already available for download from NVIDIA.com. For
Windows Media Video decode on the GeForce 6600 models, end users will also
need to download an update to Windows Media Player from Microsoft.

Are you still confused?
