WinDVD Problem

I installed WinDVD 5 Platinum on my P4 3.0/XP system. It plays movies okay,
but for some reason the options to "Use Hardware Decode Acceleration" and
"Use Hardware Color Acceleration" are not available (unchecked and greyed
out) under Video Hardware Configuration. Anyone understand this? I am
running a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra with nVidia 45.23 drivers.

Thanks.

There was a bug in one of the WinDVD builds that did that. I remember
5.1.05.011 doing that and it was fixed in the latest 5.1.05.015 build
currently available. Just redownload WinDVD from InterVideo's site
and it should clear up that problem of having those boxes greyed out.

I have version 5.1 B05.015, which appears to be the latest version. I wonder
if there is a compatibility problem with the latest GeForce cards. I'll post
if I fnd out...

Thanks for the reply.

That's odd then. Maybe it's a problem with the video driver version
you're running. Who knows. It's just odd as only the .011 exhibited
this documented problem (all prior WinDVD5 builds didn't have this
problem) and I did personally experience it myself on both my systems
(GF4Ti4400 on one, GFFX5200 on the other) and the problem disappeared
with the .015 build.
