[QUOTE="citizenkeys, post: 470966, member: 91851"] try using daemon tools lite. i tried using daemon tools pro and it wouldn't work no matter what i did. also, after you setup daemon tools lite, make sure you disable "secure mode". otherwise, daemon tools will ask you to confirm mounting the .iso but you may not see the confirmation box because it will be behind mediaportal. [B]ABOUT FFDSHOW TRYOUTS[/B] also, make sure you use "ffdshow tryouts" in media portal's config program as your dvd video and audio decoders. when i switched to daemontools lite and ffdshow for the decoders, everything worked absolutely perfectly. unlike xbmc (xbox media center), upon which mediaportal is based, mediaportal itself includes no codecs. rather than installing a bunch of codecs or a "codec pack", you can install ffdshow tryouts and that single codec (ffdshow) calls all the other codecs that are included with ffdshow tryouts. a mention of ffdshow tryouts should be included in the mediaportal install documentation. in fact, offering to install ffdshow tryouts with mediaportal in the mediaportal installer might even be a really good idea. get ffdshow tryouts from here, install it, and then set it up as your codecs in the mediaportal config program. ffdshow tryouts: [url=http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/]ffdshow tryouts | Official Website[/url] [/QUOTE]
