Title: VOB/Custom DVD Problem
Post by: nathanchavez on June 17, 2010, 05:15:57 pm: There seems to be an issue with Media Center 15 and the ability to play custom VOB files and burned custom DVDs. I created them using ConvertXtoDVD, both versions 3 and 4, and MC 15 locked up and then crashed every time I tried to play both the VOB file(s) and the burned DVD. I tried playing both using other apps, such as Jet Audio and VLC Media Player and both player fine on both apps, so I know there is no issue with the data.

Any ideas?

It could be your direct show filters.

VLC uses it's own built in filters. Not sure about Jet.

I tried it with Media Center classic as you suggested and everything worked perfectly, as its intended. I'm not sure what the issue is. But its worked with every other app I've tried it with. With MC though, it just gets unresponsive and freezes. I have to terminate the process.
