Re: New Windows Vista Ultimate Extras

Usually i rip my rented dvd's to disk to get rid of the annoying 'extra's'. I rip them to wmv. One day i thought, he why not run a movie as dream? Having installed deskscapes i found that (on my box at least) this way the film played full screen 1080p smoothly on both monitors attached at the same time with on average half the processorcycle consumption of the regular players (tried them all, blaze, windvd, fantasydvd, cool dvd, wound up buying powerdvd) putting out on one monitor.
Sound is ouput over directsound, giving me full control over the 6.1 digital soundscheme.
All it needs is a few simple controls and you have a very powerfull movieplayer indeed.

Tried contacting stardock, but they ignore any suggestion. What is the feeling here? Seems like a good idea?
