Honestly I will paypal you money if you can help me on this. So I backed up a HD-DVD with BackUpHDDVD and when I try to play the FEATURE_1.EVO through PowerDVD on my primary monitor, the sound will skip about 6 times every second and the image will lag and turn to black and show an updated image every second or so and is very annoying. I don't really care to watch HD-DVD's on my primary display though, I want to display them on my 32" Samsung LCD HDTV. I have it connected through sVGA/DVI-I and everything is set up perfectly.. Dual view is on 1360X768 (because my TV is 720p) and when I try to display the HD-DVD on my HDTV, it will crash the first second it goes on that display. I have no idea why. And I also wonder, even if I got it to display, if it would lag like it does on my primary PC Monitor. This isn't an HDCP problem, is it? Aren't all HDTV's (especially samsung) built in as HDCP Compatible? Also, why is PowerDVD using 100% of my CPU? I have the options set to allow nVidia PureVideo (which would take the strain off my CPU and put it to my Graphics Card which I don't believe is working) Or is there a difference between PureVideo and PureVideo HD? I don't see an option in PowerDVD about PureVideo HD. I'm kind of going crazy, because I spent a lot of money to get this and yeah... I'm using the xbox hd dvd drive. Here are my specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ x2 (Thinking about upgrading to Opteron 185 - tell me if that would solve anything)
eVga nVidia 8600 GTS Superclocked (HDCP Ready)
2gb ddr400 Ram
HDTV: ln-t3242h Samsung 32"

PowerDVD Options:

Does the original disk play properly and it is only your backup that has problems? We need to know that to decide if you have a player problem or a problem with your backup process.

Also, please do not post your problem more than once in different forums, per forum rule 8: do not crosspost. I have deleted your other crossposted thread.

My apologizes, I was getting frustrated.

1. the hddvd plays perfect in my HD-A2 (brand new)
2. when I load the movie in the xbox hd-dvd drive, it is hella slow because my processor isn't fast enough (what i'm thinking). While running an HD DVD, Task Manager reports that I am using 100% of my CPU. This is the reason that they have nVidia PureVideo. I'm not sure if these options affect the nVidia PureVideo HD or not, but either way, I'm looking for a fix to my problem. The video is very choppy when watched from the tray.

Is this really that hard of a question to answer? I'm very surprised.

honestly, I really need to know if upgrading my processor will help any. Doesn't anyone playback HD DVD's ripped to their computers? If so, please in detail, tell me HOW all of you go about doing it and with what program. Do you drag the FEATURE_1.EVO into powerdvd? MINE CRASHES AND I NEED TO KNOW WHY, PLEASE.

Wow, there should be no reason for people to be 100% ignorant. If you don't know, tell me why you don't know. Jesus Christ. This is a help forum, and it shouldn't really be that much to ask for you to look at the neat information I have provided and perhaps others can benefit for your minutes of effort. If I run into a problem, you are for sure going to have others that will.
