| 851014 | 2010-01-23 00:12:00 | Media Player doesn't work with me either to play the Video_TS files, BTW nothing to do with copy protection, though it will play the DVD. From zippitys reference: How to play DVD, MPEG2 In Windows To play a DVD you need a software DVD Player, then it is just to insert the DVD in your DVD-ROM and hit Play using any player like VLC Media Player(FREE) or PowerDVD or WinDVD. To play MPEG2 with Windows Media Player you need a software DVD Player installed or a MPEG2 Codec. To play a copied/ripped DVD from your HD you can use VLC Media Player, choose to open a directory and select the VIDEO_TS folder. Or use WinDVD, just right click on the play window and choose Source->DVD from folder and choose the VIDEO_TS folder. To play a copied/ripped DVD from the HD with PowerDVD just click on the open button and choose Open DVD File from the Hard Disk Drive and open the video_ts.ifo in the VIDEO_TS folder. in Mac Play DVDs with VLC Media Player. in Linux Play DVDs with VLC Media Player or MPlayer. Problem playing DVD If you have problem playing DVD on your computer try different video player software, in Windows try WinDVD or PowerDVD. www.videohelp.com As I said use Media Player Classic it is the simplest and smallest program to use, or VLC as Trev says. |

| 851016 | 2010-01-23 00:41:00 | I've just found by experiment that to use Windows Media Player (I'm using version 9) you need to load the VIDEO_TS.IFO file. Other players you just point to the VIDEO_TS folder. Edit: note you have to change "Media files(all types)" to "Any File (*.*)" in order to load the info file. |

A bit more interesting info, you dont have to do that file type changing. I reinstalled WMP 9 in XP as for some reason the skins had disappeared and I couldn't get the Classic view back. Now a VIDEO_TS.IFO opens more easily, or you can also right click on the IFO file and select WMP to always open that file type if you want. My WMP 9 must have had a bit of a bug in it, but as I seldom if ever use it, it had been unoticed. |
