Can this be considered a bug?

Windows Version: Windows XP SP2
CPU Type: P4 @ 2.6GHz
Memory: 512MB (HT)
Motherboard: Chaintech Zenith
Motherboard Chipset: 875P+ICH5R
Motherboard Bios: latest
Video Card: Asus ATI 9800XT/256
Video Card Driver: latest from ATI
Sound Card: On-board Envy24
Sound Card AC3: (optical from Envy)
Sound Card Driver: latest from VIA
1. TV Card: Hauppauge PVR-350
1. TV Card Type: hardware
1. TV Card Driver: latest from shs
2. TV Card:
2. TV Card Type:
2. TV Card Driver:
Video Codec: MPV for video, Hauppauge non-CSS for TV
Audio Codec: MPA for video, Hauppauge non-CSS for TV
Satelite/CableTV Provider:
HTPC Case: A nice silver with VFD

Power Supply: Large enough
Remote: Marmitek PC Control (IR + RF->USB)
TV: An old Sony WEGA 21" CRT (waiting for my 37" 1920x1080P LCD)
TV - HTPC Connection: VGA card s-video

I am not sure if I can call this a bug, but since MP uses Daemon Tools for image mounting, it should be able to use ALL DT supported image types (like .nrg etc.) not only .iso.

Since this is not a limitation put on purpose (probably), I would consider it a bug - after all it ignores perfectly good images, that DT mounts ok.

Hi,
I don't consider this as a bug, but more like a feauture request.

The following files should work, .img, .iso, .bin. .nrg (if some of they don't then it's a bug)

Regards

you confuse me... so is it a bug or is it not

my files were nrg and MP didn't see them - I had to rebuild them to bin

Hi,
You said "etc" & therefore if there are other than the mention which should work then it's a feature request not a bug.

If it's a .nrg it should work & therefore a bug & then you should test the file with latest svn & provide logs so we can find out why it's not working.
