PowerDVD cannot detect video acceleration when "Extend Desktop" is active.
 

Cyberlink's PowerDVD XP can detect my hardware video accelerator fine when I
do not have "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor" selected within my
display settings (dualview). I have an ATI Radeon 8500 All-In-Wonder
running on an Abit SH6, PIII Slot 1 800EB, 512MB SDRAM and Windows XP
Professional. When I select "Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor"
and run Cyberlink's PowerDVD XP it can no longer detect my video
accelerator, resulting in poor DVD performance. My first monitor is a
ViewSonic Flat CRT (A70f) and I have the video card connected via S-Video to
my television as the second monitor. This issue isn't that important, but I
see it as a possible bug in Windows XP's dualview technology.

I see it as a bug with Power DVD, as it doesn't work with dual view provided
by your video board drivers.

And quite possibly, it isn't supposed to. Use the dvd player supplied with
the ATI AIW card as it was designed to work with it.
