it seems as though it starts the dvd in a massive size, although if i play directly in cyberlink, it works fine

please find attached the error message

The error "iviaudio.ax" seems to refer to a codec. What do you have set under "DVD MPEG 2 Codec" in "DVD Settings"? You can also try using VMR9/FFDSHOW if you don't have a decent MPEG2 codec installed.

Im using the Cyberlink decoder, which is recommended in the help

Im using VMR9, but not FFDSHOW (if i seletect this option, it does not find the disk)

i installed pure video decoder and tried that, exactly the same crash?

See if unregistering iviaudio.ax helps...
