[QUOTE="KitanaiYatsu, post: 721651, member: 111411"] So... I actually have 4 DVD Burners. 3 of them where purchased as standalone/after-market products and came with DVD playing/burning software. The 4th came with the DELL box it's currently installed in. It too came with DVD playing/burning software. While the 3 after-market DVD products are all able to play DVD's, none of them is able to play the .TS files produced by MP when it records HD programming from my HDHR. Further, even though the MP config tool allows me to select the MPEG-2 codec's from each of those players, it continues to get the same error(s) when attempting to playback recorded programs. Unfortunately, the 4th DVD player is locked to the DELL box. I attempted to install it on the Gateway box that's giving me troubles... but I get an error saying "Installation is only allowed on DELL." So... Obviously, I'm not going to get too far with that. But.... I scrubbed another HD and installed Win7sp1 on it. Without any additional software, the Win7 install was able to play everything. I guess the bottom line is that either I'll have to pay for a compatible DVD player software package, or I'll have to pay for a Win7 COA for each HTPC. [/QUOTE]
