[RESOLVED] DVD Decoder problems!!

[mbodyk]

I have a Creative Labs 5x dvd drive and a Creative Pc dvd inlay card and I can only view a dvd movie on my TV. It won't show up at all on my moniter. It is hooked up to my Diamond stealth 2 s220 via the feature connecter. I also have a diamond Monster voodoo 1 card installed and that is also connected to my diamond card using a external loop back cable. If anyone can help me with my problem please respond.

It sounds like you don't have the external pass-through (loop back) cable hooked up properly. I would hook it up like this:

Video card <- pass-through -> Monster 3D input,
Monster 3D output <- pass-through -> DVD decoder,
the DVD decoder is then connected to your monitor.

This is the way most DVD decoders (inlay cards) are connected as far as I have seen. Did you buy the full retail kit or did you buy the parts seperately? They may have forgotten to give you the proper cables if puchased seperate.
