Media Player Classic not playing DVD's from DVD drive.

[stevd61]

I am able to use PowerDVD and VLC Media Player to play DVD's from both the Hard drive and from either of my DVD drives, but I am unable to play DVD's from the DVD drive with Media Player Classic. Media Player Classic will play DVD's from my Hard drive with no problem but when I try to open a DVD in either of my DVD drives (original disk's) I get the title screen the FBI warnings and some times the main menu. If I get any video at all it is blockey and jerky. Thanks for any help.

ensure DMA is enabled http://forum.digital-digest.com/show...threadid=44808

running any apps in the background that may be using the drives?

MPC and ANYDVD.

I have DMA enabled on all drives. I can play DVD's with PowerDVD or VLC Media player. I have found if I run ANYDVD in the background MPC will then play DVD's? Why does MPC need to have ANYDVD running in the backgroud bur VLC and PowerDVD don't?
Thanks

and this happens with ALL dvd's?

ensure you have the latest version of mpc

check that mpc's internal mpeg2 decoder is enabled-- make sure the box is ticked options-->internal filters-->mpeg2 video

Thanks for you help

I have the lastest version of MPC, DMA is on and the mpeg2 filter is checked. If I run ANYDVD in the background the dvd plays fine no skipping, jumping or blockly playback. When I just run MPC player alone blockly, jumping and skipping playback?
