I have an AIW 9700 Pro that I bought awhile back and I wanted to
upgrade to the latest drivers & MMC, but the disk got broken that came
with it. I know what you are thinking, that I'm trying to find the
8.1 disk. No, not that.
I understand from the many posts I've read that you do not need the
MMC 8.1 CD if you want to install another DVD software decoder. I
have PowerDVD, but the last time I tried to update the driver suite,
skipping the DVD player, PowerDVD would only skip badly and not play
very well at all. I have a P4-1.8. Is the ATI DVD codecs necessary
in order to play DVD's in hardware mode in other apps? Should I have
installed PowerDVD again after the upgrade? Do I need a later version
of PowerDVD?
I have never used the DVD player in ATI, always preferring the
PowerDVD, that works quite well with my Dolby Digital system, so I
don't care if I have the ATI DVD player, but if I can't get a 3rd
party DVD player to work, I guess I'll have to go locate the disk to
buy somewhere. I kinda hate paying $25 for something I already had to
get something that I already use.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
