DVD Menu Problem (1 Viewer)

[bazfletch3]

Hi all

I've done my best to search through the forums here (& elsewhere) prior to posting; but apologies if theres a common simple fix for this.

I've been running MP for about 12 months now, and just updated to V1.2.1 over the weekend.

A problem which i've had from day 1 which is still present after the upgrade, is that DVD menus are not working properly.

If I play a DVD, the menus are displayed correctly, but I get no icon/pointer/curser to show me which menu option is currently selected. I can usualy get around it by navigating blind; ie: curser would usualy be at the top left, so down 2, across 1, then hit enter....... so the actual functionality works ok, I just have to do it blind, which is a real pain for DVD's with complex menu's or special features.

Am I doing something wrong here, or is this a common MP problem??

I am using the Arcsoft video decoder, LAV audio decoder & splitter, and the default DVD navigator.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Barry

Hi Barry

I've experienced issues with DVD menus and I can confirm that codecs and hardware accelerated decoding can cause issues like this. I'd advise you to do some trial and error with different video codecs and see if behaviour is different with different codec configurations...

Hi

also, what is the value of your dvd navigator setting in MP Configuration? Have you tried other navigator's?
