Im having a hard time with the DVD-player in MP - no matter what setup I pick, there are some HEAVY (unacceptable )drawbacks!
I would like to use ffdshow as video-codec, but this is not possible, because unless I put on EVR, the screen is just black!!! And I don't really want to put on EVR, as my LiveTv looses significant quality/smoothness!
-I use PureVideo for LiveTV - in my opinion, by far the best for that!
(When I DO turn on EVR and use ffdshow, the 'cursor' in the DVD-menu seems frozen, but I can still navigate either with the mouse, or by counting eg. 3 steps down and then press 'enter')
My second codec choice for DVD is PureVideo (unless one of you manage to 'persuade', me there isn't a third choice!) But this is giving me problems as well! If I have EVR on it the same thing with the 'missing cursor' in the DVD-menu (and LiveTv has 'micro-stutters'). If I on the other hand turn ERV off, the MP will crash 9 out of 10 times, when I navigate the DVD menu!
(i also noticed that when I try to use the Purevideo audio-codec, I don't get any sound!)
I have noticed that you in MP-Setup, can choose the DVD-Navigator you want - but I only ever see "DVD Navigator"! - could changing 'Navigator' be a way to fix it, and how do I do that?!?
Btw my Vista is 64bit (Don't know if that changes anything!)
I really hope you can help, as a HTPC that can't play DVDs is a bit crappy!
p.s. I don't want to have to change the MP-setup constantly, as my girlfriend needs to be able to watch (decent) LiveTv AND play DVDs without 'guessing' how to navigate the DVD!
