Since someone asked about how to make Media Clasic stop babbling the
information, I thought I'd go back through my archives and find that message
that someone posted a couple years back; it has navigational info, including
how to stop Media Classic Player (or whatever it's called) to stop repeating
the information.

I'm glad you made it work. Here's some suggestions and tips.
For navigating a dvd once you open it press alt+N or go to the navigate
menu. If you can't reach the menu var with the alt key, press ctrl+0 and
now the alt key should work. Once you found the navigate menu go in there
and down arrow till you find jump to... sub menu. There you should see
titles and chapters for the dvd. To stop playing the video press the
period key; to jump to the next title/chapter use PageDown and to jump to
the previous use PageUp. As you sayed the up and down arrow keys change
the volume. Control+Left or Right arrow move you in the video making you
jump every 5 seconds I believe. Ctrl+5 toggles the information about the
playing duration. I recommend to disable it because jaws keeps reading
them. By pressing the letter A you will change the audio language
instantly if there is more than one. S does the same but for subtitles. I
think that's all you need to know to best play your dvds.
Hope this helps,
Gianluca. If you want/have more problems you can add me on skype.

Yes..the second link worked that time! I've downloaded it..but not sure
what it'll let me do once I've installed it! At least the Media Classic
Cinema works..although haven't figured out if it's completely accessible
or not!

Ah this is weird. I use this player everyday. The first file is a .7z,
so winRar can open it. Once you decompress it you should find a folder
in which you find the exe file of the player that is mpc-hc.exe. Once
you open it you go in the file menu and go to open dvd... You should
hear now the dvd. you go to the navigate menu and you jump on the title
you want to watch.
For the second link you're right. This should work, sorry for the
mistake.

Okay..after going around and around..I cannot get this player to work!
I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do here! It's telling me that
Windows needs to know what program to open it with (How do I know!)..so
I tried your second link. But the address must be wrong, for it says
"sorry; page not found!" Am getting rather frustrated with this whole
thing!

You can download it here
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5126017/mpc-homecinema.1.4.2550_%28x86%29_msvc2010.7z
This is just the player. If you want, you can download and install the
combined comunity codec pac, a pacage that includes this player and
all you need to watch video, not only dvds
You can find it here

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!
