Peter, Is that you? I thought for sure you'd know the answer for this one, being the guru for all things G3. <g> You *must* have a hardware decoder card attached to the OEM ATI video card for DVD decoding to work. I used to have one here, but I didn't need it and sold it on the swap list a ways back. You can find them on eBay, though. HTH (for a change!)
