[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 538398, member: 57999"] I'm not really moaning about MP. If I played DVDs more often it might be different, but for now it's more of a curiosity than a problem. I don't really know how the DVD->player->codec chain works, so I'm just curious how PDVD itself can play files that Windows can't even read (it reckons there's 56GB on the disc!), and why another front end (in this case MP) can't play the same disc when it's apparently using the same codecs. I don't think it works in MS MediaPlayer either. Obviously the player front-end must have to do more than point the file at the required codec, otherwise it would work in both PowerDVD and MP using PDVD codecs, but I don't know enough about it to come up with an explanation - I was just hoping somebody else did.
