can't play video files or dvd files?

I've run across several problems with ASRock products performing poorly. First sour, I would STRONGLY recommend picking up an ASUS or Gigabyte mainboard.



As for video, what are you using to play them. Also, have you downloaded the proper codecs for playing those database types. Video card will have nil to do with it if you don't own the proper codecs installed.
