DVD Maestro + Decoder Problem

[Seiya]

Greetings!

Can somebody help me here?
I am a newbie on DVD Authoring and i'm trying to work on the DVD Maestro program, but i have a problem. In fact it is a strange problem.
I have a Sigma Hardware Decoder Card for Video Previewing and when i put play on the preview mode the following message comes out:
"Decoder Connection Not Established (0xc10d0001)".
Does anybody know how can i resolve this problem?

Thank's

P.S.: I tried to make the preview on "DVD Maestro" of a .m2v file (made on the "TMPG Encoder" program) and of a .wav file (made on the same program).

Eventho it lists the hollywood+ as available it will not use it under any circumstance. You can use the cineplayer based matrox software dvd player and it will alow you to choose the cinemaster decoder instead. The player loads certain drivers that make meastro think you have the decoder. BTW you really should try something easier if your newbie as opposed to a complicated pro ap that you got via warez.

The ATI software DVD player will work. It's based on the Cinemaster dll's. Maestro uses the dll's for the ATI software player.

The software came bundled with several different ATI cards that I own. I don't know about an independent purchase. I don't think they offer the product seperate from a card.

Matrox sells it for 12bucks with some cable.
