Lost case, really.
Its not a graphics adapter, but an addon board, the DXR3. So you can mix 
it with any graphic card. There is NO software solution (even if it uses 
your graphic cards hardware DVD abilities) that works relyably. SOME 
people have menaged to get it to work with the CINEMASTER (ATI) DVD 
players and the WINDVD players. NONE of those results have been 
reproduceable by the masses. Additionally it is even worse to make it 
working in XP I have heared (cannot talk about personal experience here 
as I'd not thouch THAT system) as XP and MCI drivers don't mix well.
