Hello List:  First of all, thanks to those of you who are following this
thread (assuming there are people who are doing so) I've not gotten many
responses!  So this could mean that no one is following.or maybe you're like
me and don't really know what to do about this!  I have been somewhat able
to play this DVD (the one with the show that I was involved with back in
November) using Windows Media.with varying results!  I can put the DVD in,
then go to "computer" go to the D drive; at this point, I hit my
applications key and arrow to "open auto-play; then arrow to Windows Media.
Usually it'll go ahead and open and start playing the DVD.  But the
frustrating thing is that, in a lot of cases, at some point as I am
watching, it'll just stop!  This leaves me with no choice but to back out of
everything and start over; sometimes I have been able to get it started;
then fast forward to where I left off.  The problem with this is with WMP,
it takes an eternity to get to where you want to be as I have found no way
to just punch in where I left off, such as I can do with Winamp and I assume
VLC.which.BTW-I have given up on that one as I have concluded that for
whatever reason, 
VLC just plain won't play these DVDS!  Another thing that sometimes will
happen is that I'll put the DVD in; Windows Media will come up and start
playing the video.with no audio!  Other times, I'll get the Windows Media
logo.but no video!  So you see that there is no consistency here!  So I
don't know if I have a possible problem with my computer or just what is
going on!  So again.thanks to all who have been following along; if you have
any ideas of what I can do to solve this problem, by all means jump in there
and give me your thoughts as I really would love to find an easy way to
watch this DVD without all this hassle!  If my portable DVD would fully
charge, I would just watch it on that!  But alas.that portable DVD (for
whatever reason) _will_not_charge all the way!  So that's another problem I
need to figure a way to solve!  Again.thanks to all who are reading these
posts!  Happy New Year to all!
