Anyone having troubles on DVD playback from USB drives in Vista?
Magic_Randy:
I tried the workaround - and it does work. The only problem is I had to import from the new "virtual" folder. Of course I then had to redo all of my tagging which is kind of a pain. The good news is I only had 55 DVDs to manually retag, but it still takes time.
I don't understand why we are the only ones with this issue. I find it hard to believe that people with DVDs have them copied to a local drive. The Video_TS folders take a ton of space.
And as I mentioned, my other software CyberLink PowerDVD works just fine accessing the USB drive (without the workaround to create a virtual folder). But I tested it with Windows Media Player - and it does not work. ?

Vista is running on a new notebook from Fujitsu Siemens. The technical support their is a pain - they suggested to perform a firmware update of the notebook. If I buy a new notebook and the first thing I have to do is a firmware update - thats bad for custumers. I have to try before I can tell them that it's not working but unfort. I am lacking time ...
Then I still have the possibility to request support from Microsoft but thats pain as well ...
You could have saved your retagging if you would have used find and replace.

Interesting. I'm also using a Fujitsu notebook. When you say firmware update, are you talking about a bios update?
EDIT: I checked my BIOS and it is current. There is an updated one available, but that version is already installed on my PC.

Hi, I justed posted to some other guys which hardware they are using:

Yes, the support requested me to update the BIOS. But as you checked it now I'll write the support a "nice" mail by tomorrow.
I'll keep you informed.

Hi Tom,
Let's see if the others are using similar hardware.
