My guess, since no one else wanted to take a shot at it, is this: The DVD players probably use something called "overlay" or another method to get faster access to the video hardware. Specifically, (I think) overlay involves letting the app do whatever it wants to a chunk of video memory; so I'm guessing overlay support still has a few quirks to be worked out. :) If it bothers you that much, the players should have an option to turn off overlay, or whatever other acceleration method it's using. You could try playing with the settings, you've probably got a fast enough machine to do without it. HTH, Mike McGuire
