Since this is a Vista newsgroup I assumed the user was using Vista
I will admit that I have been responding to the OPs origional problem and
not to moonstasz hijacking of this thread.
I have the Nvidia XP decoder on my system also and can install it also. But
when I tried the link you provided it was no longer available.
From the following link it appears that the selection of Mastered vs live
format is a function available to DVD burning software on vista and has
absolutely nothing to do with the decoding software.
Hopefully both the OP and Moonstaz will check out the following link for a
solution to their problem.
