I'm suffering the same problem. Tried alsorts without joy.

I don't want to move over to the darkside of Windows MCE but might have to. At the moment, MP uses PowerDVD as an external player for DVDs. It's the only way I can get clear playback. The film plays fine, however, I have to use the keyboard or vnc to close PowerDVD.

Quite annoying for me. Very annoying for my wife who is now starting to change her mind that the htpc was a good purchase. During the daytime she needs to be able to switch between the kids' DVD and her music/radio/tv easilly. That means not getting the keyboard out or vnc.

Shame really. I'm sure there's a reason but I can't find it.

[QUOTE="NorthernJohn, post: 37682, member: 18239"] I'm suffering the same problem. Tried alsorts without joy. I don't want to move over to the darkside of Windows MCE but might have to. At the moment, MP uses PowerDVD as an external player for DVDs. It's the only way I can get clear playback. The film plays fine, however, I have to use the keyboard or vnc to close PowerDVD. Quite annoying for me. Very annoying for my wife who is now starting to change her mind that the htpc was a good purchase. During the daytime she needs to be able to switch between the kids' DVD and her music/radio/tv easilly. That means not getting the keyboard out or vnc. Shame really. I'm sure there's a reason but I can't find it. :( [/QUOTE]
