I'm suprised it works fine for DVDs
possible that the player cannot decode the video because of a lack of codecs. i've seen it before and was fixed by installing new codecs that supported the video format your trying to view. specifically i had the problem when trying to view a DivX 4.0 video, played audio fine but no video till i installed the libs to play it. never tried a dvd, never will. dvd is evil nate (owner of a thinkpad T20)
