My PC has windows media player 10 and ffdshow only. I haven't intalled any other codec.

There is no option to turn overlay off for the ATI 9200 mobile graphics card on my laptop - Compaq nc6000.

So I can play DVD on extended monitor or TV.
Playing internet TV or Divx movie on TV is now possible thangs to ffdshow.

My question is, how can ffdshow be used to play DVD with current configuration? If not, do I need something else?

Well, you're going to need to install some DVD player/decoder anyway. You don't need to disable overlay, just make sure VMR9 video renderer is used (does not use overlay)

Please forgive me. What is VMR9? Where do I select VMR9 video renderer?
