Hollywood PCI Decoder Card by Sigma Designs

This card is the only card that allows playing from the hard disk as well as from the DVD drive. It is generally considered the best decoder card to use by DVD authoring professionals. It also has the fewest motherboard compatibility problems. We chose it after using it ourselves in our own work, and liked it so much we decided the market needed a kit containing it. 5 free DVDs:

The exact titles vary with different units (this adds value), unless requested otherwise at the time of order. A very well written manual. So rare in this industry....

All cables needed.

1 year warrantee: unless retailer desires otherwise the customer calls us directly with all technical problems, and ships the drive directly to us. We ship the customer a newly refurbished drive/card/cable/title when the malfunctioning one is received. We do not accept returns of non-defective kits. Warrantee is from the time of retail sale.

Computer Requirements:

Windows 95. Bus mastering IDE controller. Unused PCI slot for decoder card.

Customer Advisory: Creative Labs has issued a recall of their first batch of kits, we advise that you contact them to determine whether you should return all of yours from that batch that you have in inventory. And then contact your customers.... While they are working out their technical difficulties, you may wish to order from their (mostly much more expensive) competitors. You will probably note that not only are we somewhat cheaper than Creative Labs, nobody with good working decoder cards is anywhere near our prices..... We often sell unbundled decoder cards to persons who bought from Creative Labs....
