[QUOTE="tim50stroud, post: 711192, member: 59884"] Its one of those intermittant faults, hard to tie down. The PC is only used as a mediacentre, and I prefer Mediaportal as the playback; but you're right, I have another I could try. I wasn't sure what drivers mediaportal used to access a DVD, so assumed it was within Mediaportal.... Where are the crash logs maintained in windows? Thats another useful track... Running Mediaportal this evening, playing a DVD, locks up and blue screen in 0.5 hr. Switch to my old media software Zoom from [url]http://www.inmatrix.com/[/url] and no problem, playing for 3 hr continuous. So, how do i pursuade mediaportal to use the same codec/ player as Zoom?? My knowledge of codecs and dvd players is limited, but seems the problem is here. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seems to be a matter of changing codec to FFDshow from the one mediaportal decided to pick.
