[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 789477, member: 82144"] Hi again Tesla The DVD navigator is not one of our components - I believe it is actually a Microsoft component which is bundled with the operating system. There are various DVD navigators available including the Cyberlink one. Most software houses that offer reasonably advanced/DVD playing software have their own. In other words, I guess what I'm saying is that this issue is out of our control.

This was essentially shown by my earlier debug which printed the events generated by the navigator - it is the navigator that is erroneously saying that playback should be stopped when playing a disc from the 3TB drive. It does seem bizarre that the HDD would make a difference, but I think in this case we shouldn't underestimate the potential issues caused by the HDD in question having 4 kB sectors instead of 512 B sectors.
