Nero ShowTime won't play commercial DVDs
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 9:07 pm
Hi, All:
I can't get Nero ShowTime to play any commercial DVD. However, it will play DVDs I've created in NeroVision Express with no problems. I can successfully play commercial DVDs in WMP 9 with Nero Digital plug-in ShowTime will also play MPEG and AVI files just fine.
When I try to play a commercial DVD in ShowTime, the video window re-sizes briefly, asks if I want to start DVD from the beginning (or not), then nothing happens. The DVD is being recognized as it's name appears in "Select Source" next to the appropriate drive letter, but no playback occurs at all
Any ideas? I've tried turning hardware acceleration on/off, but I don't know what else to try. I would prefer to use ShowTime rather than WMP for playing DVDs, if possible...
Running WinXP SP2 (clean install), NBR 6.3.1.25, NVE 2.1.2.21 (includes ShowTime 1.5.0.41). DVD drive is Plextor PX-712A (with latest firmware). Here is my InfoTool.txt file, if it helps. Any advice is appreciated...
