Xbox external hd-dvd player and power dvd

[fluxquantum]

hello everyone,

i just got one of these. Xbox HD-DVD drive so far, i've only been able to play it through my xbox. the picture quality is awesome. unfortunately i am having issues playing it through my pc. the drive is detected by XP but when i go to play HD-DVDs, powerdvd plays the movie but it's zoomed in. i don't know if that makes sense. i can't get the full movie to display on my monitor or projector. i have powerdvd 7.2 ultra that supports both blu-ray and hd-dvd. the device came with king kong in hd-dvd. is this a scaling issue or something? why am i only seeing the upper portion of the movie? the rest is cut off. i've tried playing with all the powerdvd options to no avail. i even tried different drivers.

anybody out there with some experience with this? any advice would be appreciated. by the way, normal dvds play just fine.

my projector is a mitsubishi hd1000. my pc specs are in my sig.

anyone out there that has experience with powerdvd or the xbox hddvd drive?

yes, i did.

1st. your video card doesnot support hdcp. so when you play it with your card it will not work.

Over VGA it will.

hi guys,

it's me again. i'm still having an issue. i used a dvi to vga converter and connected my video card to the vga port on the projector. when i go to play a movie i am only seeing a zoomed in image. i can't get the entire movie to display. does this make any sense? what's also weird is that i have to use anydvd for the movie to even play. any advice would be appreciated.
