Good day everyone!
I have bought Bjork's Greatest Hits DVD today and tried to play it on my PC with WindowsXP MCE 2005 that is connected to my computer with NVIDIA PureVideo 1.02-196 decoder installed. The playback was very strange picture frose from time to time and once in hang my PC so only hardware reset could help. I thought that was a bad disk and copied it on HD but there was no result. Then I remembered about Ubuntu! The DVD was playing perfectly in it! I know one shouldn't blame Micro$oft for that but nVidia actually. But anyway, Ubuntu plays DVDs better than Windows!
