Resume DVD playback hangs SageTV

[rv73]

Sometimes when I go to resume playback after watching a DVD, Sage hangs on the 'Initialization' section of playback.
Remote becomes unresponsive, and CTRL+ALT+DEL & killing Sage is the only way to get control back.
If I choose to 'Restart DVD' instead of 'Resume', then all is fine.
I play from ripped DVD's from my collection as straight DVD-video (VOB's, etc)

Any ideas please ?

Using latest SageTV 6.3.8 and SageMC 6.3.7 , PowerDVD 7.3 decoder, AC3Filter, VMR9.
Have also tried Sage 6.3.5, and SageMC 6.3.6b with the same problem.

Do you have another video (or audio) decoder you can try? I've done that a number of times, but I use nVidia's decoders.

In addition to trying a different decoder: try using a different renderer (VMR9 vs. Overlay) and make sure you aren't using a secondary monitor for playback. Some decoders still don't like secondary monitors.

Thanks for the replies.
After troubleshooting heaps:
The Cyberlink PowerDVD 7.3 decoder causes the hanging on resume playback
Changing to Purevideo Nvidia Decoder .223 fixes this.

* MCE doesn't exhibit these problems with PowerDVD decoder.
Unsure why Sage does... ?

at least you can get resume to work... tried it 3 times this weekend on the HD100 and it restarted at the beginning every time.

OK, tried more decoders as suggested by the Nvidia website.

Summary:

Arcsoft, WinDVD, Cyberlink decoders all cause SageTV to hang on dvd resume.

Nvidia Purevideo works fine. It is the only one thus far that works.
