I have a pioneer DVD-ROMDVD-116, when I try to play a movie. My windows 2000 system tell me I need a DVD decoder so were and what brand do I need to buy to fix this problem? Also I have a Nuidia Riva TNT 2 modwl 64/ Model 64 pro card in my machine.

I had this same problem. Go to:
http://www.orionstudios.com/DirectDVD.html
and download their 30-day trial of DirectDVD. The install also includes a DVD decoder that can be used by any other DVD player.
So, I ran the DirectDVD install (which seperately installs the decoder), then I play DVDs using the Win2K built-in DVD player, which uses the DirectDVD decoder.
And only the DirectDVD software expires after 30 days; the decoder doesn't.

hope this helps
