I am attempting to record video from my DVD player being played in Windows Media Player and the resulting mpeg-2 output file has audio but no video. I have tried checking the "Disable Video Acceleration" in Replay Video Capture Settings and moving my hardware acceleration setting to "None". However, when I move the hardware setting to "None" I get no video in Windows Media Player when I attempt to play the DVD. I seem to be out of options...please help.

I'm using a Dell Precision M4400 running XP Professional with an NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M video adapter and using Window Media Player 9.

It appears that the probem may be that most of the newer DVD players have their own built in accelerator. Windows Media Player and Real would not even work on my laptop with my hardware accelerator set to "None". I was suggested to download freeware "VLC Media Player". It's free and it seems to have solved the problem.

SO, I set my hardware accelerator to "None" and the VLC Media Player was still able to play the DVD. Then I was able to capture the DVD with the "Disable Video Acceleration" box in RVC NOT checked and the Video Format set to MPEG-2.
