Need a DVD Decoder??

[SprocketTech]

I have a Gateway PIII 450 with 128 mb of ram and a DVD rom drive. I am looking to get a card that I can use to watch DVD's from my computer on to my 35 inch T.V. screen. Can anybody give some ideas on a fair priced good quality card????

The RealMagic Hollywood Plus is the best, and I've seen them off of Pricewatch for around $40. Otherwise, I think you can get a Creative Labs DVD decoder for around $20. Probably not as good, but better than nothing. I remember watching DVDs off my old Matrox G-100 with no decoder. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

My new computer has the RealMagic Hollywood DVD decoder. My friend built the system, and he only uses good stuff. It works great for the PC, but I haven't tried hooking it up to my TV. My TV is not in the same room as my computer :-(

the tnt2 m64 is a great card for the price and it will play dvds with soft wear only but the pic is great from the tv out and you can get it for about 140.00 canadian in facked i have one for sale if you want to pay the shipping i will let it go for 100.00 1 month old
