It may be your dvd if it is a backup disc causing the problem.Sometime ago dvd-rb had a bug in it that made subtitles appear.The problem has been fixed. If you are using a backup maybe worth making another.

No doubt your not the only one taking it back!
You think Sony would have done more research before taking it to market.
First to market,first to be returned! Doesn't do the brand name much good,

Hi frank, nice name!
DTS-ES (extended surround) is basically a 7.1 channel sound format.Rear channels split for left and right stereo.
NEO 6 much the same.
Ok if you have the 7 surround speakers and a sub woofer! Or intend getting them.
Mainly action movies you will find a ES sound track.
Interactual support can be used if the dvd has other content on it often using the internet to access the dvd home site, games interviews murchandise etc.
Is it worth it? Up to you!
Great if you have the room the equipment and the movies to play.
Could try google for a more indepth view on DTS-ES if you wanted, this should give you a basic idea.

Not sure if I can help but what type of file are you trying to play? Eg: DivX , Mpeg 2 or 4 or ISO etc.

The answer is out there,google,google is your friend!

(1) Simon I can only go by what is on mine and [nVidia PureVideo] is beside enable hardware acceleration,also on Mike89 so I guess it is supposed to be there.Do you have the deluxe or standard.You may have to upgrade or buy an addon pack if your using the standard model.
(2) Mike89 Sorry about causing this confusion,the nividia icon is in the tray when being used by windows media player.It is NOT in the tray when PDVD7 is being used, and as far as I know, should not be there when PDVD7 is playing.
How do you know if it is working, untick the box is probably the only way.And you will probably only see a difference when playing high definition content.
Is PDVD7 required to have PureVideo ,no.But if you do have H.264 hardware acceleration (purevideo) PDVD will support it (use it).
PureVideo is for playing high definition content,if your playing a standard dvd you will may not see much difference, if any.
Cyberlink say PDVD7 Deluxe "leverage the power of your nVidia or ATI graphics card with support for hardware acceleration" so if your graphics card has hardware acceleration it can use it. Or for high definition playback PureVideo if you have it installed.
All there saying is if you have a graphics card that has the ability to play high definition content then PDVD7 deluxe is compatible with it.
Hope that answers your concerns.

Your right it doesn't show up in the tray when playing in PDVD7. Sorry!
Go to configuration > Video tab under Hardware Acceleration -
Enable hardware acceleration [nVidia PureVideo] tick the box it should be working.

You obviously didn't need PureVideo.
It will depend on your computers configuration.
PureVideo I think will benifit those will older systems who want to watch High definition content.
Torbenp has an older graphics card which would probably benefit from PureVideo.
I have on one system a GeForce 4 MX440 that is useless with PureVideo not supported so I can't watch high definition content with it,3 years old!
My only choice is to buy a new graphics card that supports high definition.
If you have a graphics card that is compatible with PureVideo and is of benefit then I guess it is a toss up between buying a new graphics card that supports high definition play back or buying PureVideo.
Will depend on everybodys individual needs.
If you have H.264 Hardware Acceleration without PureVideo then you don't need PureVideo.
If you have a compatible graphics card and you can't view high definition content in high definition, then I'd try PureVideo.It's free to try, if it is of no benifit to you, it's cost you nothing!
And NO I am not connected with nVidia!

If you read the heading this topic it is about H.264 Hardware Acceleration!
Yes the deluxe has H.264 codec as standard as I mentioned earlier.
torbenp was after H.264 hardware acceleration to get that he/she needs PureVideo.
Do you need hardware acceleration to watch H.264 no, but
Is it worth it? If you have a compatible graphics card download it and try it for 30 days free and judge for yourself.
I'd download the latest driver for your graphics card and make sure you have DirectX 9.0c as well.

OK you've got Nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics card.Now you need the Nvidia PureVideo decoder if you want H264 hardware acceleration!
Link to PureVideo:
http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo.html
Link to PureVideo 30 day free trial:-
http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder_1.02-223-trial.html
Once you have downloaded and installed PureVideo Decoder open powerdvd go to Configuration > Video tab you should now see beside Enable Hardware acceleration in brackets [nVidia PureVideo] tick the box and you should now have H264 Hardware Acceleration for PDVD7 deluxe

Try adjusting your video settings, eg:may work better without hardware acceleration enabled,or if it's not enabled enable it see what happens.
