Media Player Classic - ISO

[jm1647]

I have XP Pro also I will try on

[jm1647]

Hmmm very interesting, the DVD Shrink iso opened right up over my network in MPC with the box with XP Pro ? either something with the Dell laptop or XP Home Edition, which is legal and has all the latest M$ updates on it.

[jm1647]

And so did the RI4M and DVD Decrypter created isos. All 3 open in MPC in XP Pro on a home made box but not in MPC on a Dell Laptop with XP Home which result in can not render the file

[anonymez]

so a possible cause is the method mpc uses to open ISO images may not work with xp home (a limitation maybe)

as mentioned earlier, mpc has everything it needs internal to run dvd's and compliant iso images. the only possible causes as far as i could see was mpc itself/a bug or the OS

[jm1647]

may just be a limitation of xp home

It's crazy, but the file rip plays fine in MPC on the laptop with Home....iso\XP home problem in MPC?

Edit - I just seen ur edit

I haven't had any problem with opening video ISO files with WMC either my WinXP Pro desktop or WinXP Home laptop. My WMC unicode build version 6.4.9.0

Just did a fresh download and extraction of MPC 6.4.9.0 (.zip) and tried it on the Dell Laptop (processor 2.0 GHZ Pentium 4 M) with admin rights and still got can not render file...this is weird ...it will only not open up isos (DVDShrink, DVD Decrypter or RI4M) but plays file rips from the HDD and DVD ROM fine

I created 2 ISO files: one from homemade DVD and one from commercial copied DVD, and both played perfectly fine on my XP Home PC. I can't figure out your PC has that problem though

Me neither...like I said The Dell XP Home works fine with the file mode,,,I wonder, it only has 256MB of RAM and the file system is NTFS but I don't think that would matter would it? I wonder what OS gs47 has

no

I wonder what OS gs47 has

now we play the waiting game

[jm1647]

no



now we play the waiting game

Hmm I didn't think so, yeah my XP Pro box AMD Athlon XP 1500+ has FAT32, and 1GB of RAM.

I checked the bug reports for MPC and nothing with iso XP Home

[anonymez]

decided to try it on one of my pc's, xp pro sp2, and i get the same error. i'll do a little experimenting

My Home laptop is current with all updates, my Athlon XP Pro is at SP2

anonymez - your box FAT32 or NTFS ?

Edit - so far for me XP Home current with all Updates NTFS 256MB of RAM 2.255 GB iso no good

XP Pro SP2 FAT32 (but file was read over network) 1GB RAM same file works

no matter jm-- problem solved

quick fix: install nero

i'm guessing a certain component that happens to install with nero is what mpc uses to mount the image. i'm no nero expert so i'll wait for someone else to come in with some technical explanation and possibly an alternative

btw all pc's are NTFS here
