It seems like you are facing a frustrating issue with your DVD playback on Windows 7 RC and even after reverting to the beta version (7000). The symptoms you described, such as the movie becoming distorted with big pixels and eventually leading to a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death), indicate a graphics driver or compatibility problem. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and possibly resolve this issue:

Update Graphics Drivers:​

1. Graphics Driver Update: Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers compatible with Windows 7 installed. Visit the manufacturer's website (Intel in your case) to download and install the latest drivers explicitly designed for Windows 7.

Troubleshooting Steps:​

1. DirectX Diagnostic Tool: Use the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to check for any issues with DirectX or graphics rendering.
   • Press Win + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter.
   • Check for any errors or issues in the different tabs, especially the Display tab.
   []Check System Files: Run a system file check to verify the integrity of system files.
   • Open a Command Prompt as an administrator and enter sfc /scannow.
   []Check for Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows installation is up to date with the latest patches and updates.
   • Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update.

     Additional Recommendations:​

   []Hardware Acceleration: Try adjusting hardware acceleration settings in media players. Lowering it can sometimes resolve playback issues. []Codec Packs: Ensure you have the necessary codecs installed for proper DVD playback. Tools like K-Lite Codec Pack can help with this.
2. BIOS Update: Consider updating your system BIOS if there is a newer version available from your computer manufacturer.

   Note:​

   • Remember to create a restore point before making any significant changes to your system.
   • If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support or the manufacturer of your computer for further assistance.
