A software DVD player will do the job very well.

ok, but then I won't be using the hardware decoder that's on the Voodoo, right?

how ?

I just used the apple dvd player. My mac wasn't a G4, so no altivec decoder, it was a slow G3, without the card, playing a DVD was like watching a slideshow.

Voodoo4/5 Setup and tweaking / MPEG2 decoding

Hi,
I've just removed the dust from my Voodoo5 5500 (mac version), put it in my new PC (with Windows2000) and flashed it with a PC bios.
It's working ok, but now I want to decode MPEG2 videos (watch dvds). Is it possible to do that with this card?... I remember I was able to use it to decode DVDs on my mac, so I assume it must be the same in a PC...
thanks for any advice.
