Well now...even Windows Media Player isn't co-operating! I got video with no sound! I don't know what in the world is going on here! I have a portable DVD player (one of those Sylvanias that came out a year or two ago. But it doesn't seem to want to charge up! Tom Kaufman

At this point, Windows will freeze up on me...and I'll get a "program not responding" message! This last time, at this point I decided to just take the DVD out of the drive, knowing that if I didn't, I was going to have problems, such as my computer just getting stuck and causing problems that I don't even know if I can accurately explain! So far, I've not heard of any other people who have purchased these DVDs having problems (I did hear that a couple of people had to turn their volume up on their computer or DVD player) but I find that I didn't have to do this! I really wouldn't mind if VLC would play it as I think I could move forward and backward quicker! But so far, VLC just won't play it (VLC will come up and act like it is going to play it! But as some folks say "no joy!" And I don't get this jazz about "possibly not having the right permissions (or whatever it's saying! Ideas anyone?

Problem is that I couldn't advance or go back; now (after trying several other options, Windows Media won't play it! This is most frustrating! I know that there is someone on this list who believes that VLC will play anything; not so, for it won't play the DVD I have in the machine now!

However my computer absolutely refuses to play this DVD! When I place the DVD into the DVD/CD drive, VLC comes up.but does nothing! When I go to computer; then go to the D drive, I am presented with a dialog, informing me that Windows cannot access the specified file, path or device; it goes on to tell me that I may not have the appropriate permissions (or some such nonsense) to play this file! It's my DVD (I bought it) I.along with the band.play in it! Why is it that my computer won't play it? What is it I need to do? Help much appreciated! Tom Kaufman
