list..if "video"..would be "on Topic! (don't want to get in trouble with our

Subject: Playing DVD's [was "Re: Hopefully Not "off-Topic""]
How could you possibly think this is off topic for this list? :-)
I would suggest using a better subject line though. If I'd been checking
this from another PC, I probably would have skipped over a subject that
doesn't say anything but "I hope this isn't off topic." You probably wish
I had checked this from my cell phone though, since I can't help you. I
did go ahead and change the subject line though.

Hi list: I know this is an "audio list"..but my problem concerns playing
DVDs! Am trying to assess if the reason why my computer will not play
DVDs is the fault of the DVD drive..or if I just need the right DVD
playing software to play the things! Let me give you some background
first: just before Christmas, I was given some CDs to record to cassette
(one of them didn't work..or so I thought)..the long and short of it is
that..what I thought was a CD was a DVD! So I decided to try to play it
in my computer to find out for sure! I tried Windows Media..no soap; I
also tried using Real Player (got video..but no sound)..I tried Power DVD
(it told me I had to buy it (I didn't think I did..but that's what it was
telling me (that my "trial period had run out!" So I called my tech; he
put me on to this program called VLC Media Player! I tried a couple of
DVDs in it; it'll play them..but not right; I don't know if I can explain
what it's doing (by the way..this VLC Media Player isn't that
accessible)..so maybeyou folks can also point me in the right direction
with that too! But with VLC Media player, the DVDs will at least
"play"..but it skips and jumps and just sounds crazy! So as you can
probably figure out, I need to know if I need to have something done with
my DVD drive..or do I just need the right program (hopefully one that is
accessible)..BTW-I do have some vision, so I would need something that
will show me the video (I've heard of DVD Audio Extractor..which won't
work for my purposes! I'll be most grateful for any help or direction
you can give..and my apologies if this is "off-topic"..since this is a PC
Audio list; I just don't know where else to turn at the moment!
