[QUOTE="moviebuff03, post: 66361, member: 14443"] Ok, I have one major gripe before I am totally happy with my HTPC setup. I should add that I don't think this problem is a MP issue! I need some help in tracking down why my DVD drive freezes after 3-4 seconds playing a DVD (I am using it with CSSRegionFree), but I have tried both region 1 and 2 discs and uninstalled CSS... Initially I thought it was an MP (0.2.0.2) problem as the screen would just go black. I have tried both WinDVD and WMP and both freeze. In fact WinDVD won't even load properly any more. When I try to kill the applications it takes 4 or 5 attempts to close it. dumprep.exe appears every time and takes all the system resources, hence the lockup. Yet, when I use WMP or play an audio CD or software CD, it works perfectly. I have reinstalled windows and reloaded the codecs. Is it a hardware or codec issue? The only codecs that I have loaded are GPL MPEG2, DScaler and DivX & ffdshow I know this forum is MP, but I'd really appreciate any help anyone can give as I'm currently stuffed from watching movies. Thanks! BTW, I am able to play mpeg and Divx files fine from My Videos & My TV (DVR-MS files) [/QUOTE]
