[QUOTE="Scythe42, post: 940207, member: 95833"] [B]The DVD Navigator exists in ALL Win8 Versions.[/B] Doesn't matter if you installed Media Center Add On or not. There is just no DVD Player Software included using these components. But all the stuff is present on the system as it was in Win7. Might be that some of the filters are not automatically registered though (haven't checked that). But even the mpeg filters are present on the system itself on any of my MSDN versions. Rule of thumb: It works on Enterprise = It works everywhere. As the Enterprise version isn't officially capable of adding the Media Center (at least last time I checked). This was already discussed in various threads as soon as the MSDN release came out... Win8 just doesn't come with a DVD Player Application out of the box. That's all. The required components are still on the system. This is because MS doesn't want to break other software as it seems - especially after the unfounded huge press shit-storm. So the included everything minus the application (that is officially discontinued as the project team was dismantled) which they then offerred as a free add on for sometime before it costs money. Uuntil then everybody should have figured it out that the thing is a no issue. If something is broken in MP on Win8 in regards to DVD playback it's not because of missing some"system components" compared to Win7. [/QUOTE]
