For what its worth, SoftDVD uses the same engine as WinDVD, which means
thet DVD Genie can be used to tweak settings (http://www.inmatrix.com/);
see
http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/creative.html for more on
SoftDVD. DVD Express was a Mediamatics product, is now a National
product and goes under the name DVMatics DVD player, but I don't know if
recent versions will talk to the 770's hardware.
