dvd playback switches between colour and black and white

no, i'll give it a shot

edit: no luck, comes up with "Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render"

Sorry, I dont really know. All I can suggest is trying different decoders than the ones you've already tried.

Try the dscaler ones from http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Dsca...ilters.htm

tried the dscaler ones, still no good. one thing i have noticed though, its only affected on the tv out part of the system. i use vnc to control the mediacenter and the display is always colour on that. i've tried all the usual tricks with the graphics card ie updating drivers, changing settings etc.
