Choosing video card for dvd..........

[PuppettMaster001]

I have two video cards running in my rig, one GF3 ti200 and a Radeon 32MB PCI. When I run PowerDVD or WinDVD it is decoding the DVD using the Geforce3. Is there a way to use the Radeon instead? I have the GF3 hooked up to my monitor and the Radeon hooked up to a TV (S-Video).

You set your Radeon as the Primary Display device in both the BIOS and in Windows (should be in the desktop properties setup). Of course, that means that most everything will use the Radeon as your primary device, including the DVD software, most video games, and Windows in general. You could always just switch the setting back and forth though. It gets annoying, but it works.

no other way than that huh? I guess my GF3 doesnt have that bad DVD decoding. Too much trouble making my Radeon my primary video card.

If you have Win XP you don't have to reboot. For more info: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?threadid=33184&perpage=999
