Hi & welcome to the forum,
What happens if you hit play one more time after you see the to disc icons?

The icon in the top right corner lets you select which one of the stacked files you want to play. If you press left/right you'll se the highlight move to the next/previous disc. Hence, you'll have to press enter (play might work too) when the icon appears, to start the movie.

To me this isn't really that user friendly. The point of stacking the files is to treat all the files as one, so the movie should start playing at once, as it does with one file videos. The next/previous buttons could be used to move between the stacked files instead.

Couldn't agree more. Can't think of any situation where I would want to start playing from the second file. If I wanted to, why did I stack them in the first place?
The current behavior isn't very intuitive either. I didn't understand why my movie didn't play the first time I used a stacked one. Didn't notice the stacked disc images (and wasn't aware of the feature at all)

I,m sure something has changed here, as remember all files as long as they were named cd1, cd2. were treated as one file and played straight away without disc choice. Must admit it is a while ago that i used this feature. Can someone confirm this or am i finally cracking up. :wink:
