DirectX 6.1, NT4.0 & DVD

[Isos]

Can I make them to work together?

I don't think so. There's no support in NT4 for DirectX 6. It has D3 support I think. And doesn't DVD need to use D6.

The following isn't directly related to your Q but it is a interesting read.

I agree with Bleeding Edge
NT4 does not support DVD.
The highest version you can install is DirectX 3 (installed with sp3)

Thanks. I guess, I'll just have to dual boot for now.

Well, NT4 does in fact take the Dx6.1 install, and it works. I have to point out that its a matter of security access to the hardware that NT does not allow, not the fact that DX doesnt work with it. You see, without a DVD dedicated card, NT just doesn't like this kind of software accessing a video card. There are professional video solutions out there, but money would be a concern to most people.
