661002 2008-04-21 23:16:00 Does anyone who uses powerdvd 8 know how to stop it autoplaying everytime I mount an .iso file or insert a dvd?

I want to just use the codecs etc but I don't want powerdvd to autoplay anything.
There are no settings in powerdvd 8 to do this like there are in 7.

Anyone else having this issue, for instance if you want to mount the movie in daemon tools and play within mediaportal?

What you can also do is go into My Computer/Right click the DVD drive/ Properties/Auto Play Tab/ select in the drop down box DVD Then Select prompt me each time to chose action OR the program you want open a DVD.

661005 2008-04-22 22:05:00 I'm pretty sure v8 does have a setting to not automatically play the movie on insert. I have autoplay off, but i'm sure I also unchecked an option either on install or in the options. I'll see if I can find it when I finish work. autechre (266)
661006 2008-04-22 22:33:00 In the Options, it looks like it's under "Player", "Advanced...", "File Association".

From the manual:

When any of the selected file formats in the file association list are
double-clicked on your computer, CyberLink PowerDVD will launch
automatically and play it back.
Play automatically upon inserting disc: select this option for
CyberLink PowerDVD to be launched automatically when a disc
is inserted into the disc drive.
Launch CyberLink PowerDVD and play when double-clicking
an IFO file: select this option to set CyberLink PowerDVD as the
default player for IFO files.
