How do I get MC17 to play standard DVDs?

A litte more description of your problem would help.
Did you try Tools>Options>CD, DVD & BD > AUTOPLAY?

The DVDs are on my hard drive. MC17 used to play them fine. Now all I get is a black screen without audio. It plays my HD m2ts files just fine.

Could you try 17.0.95 from the top of the MC17 board?

That was the first thing I did was upgrade. I just played a movie with Windows Media Player Classic.

Thanks for the help.

Got it working. Had to put ffdshow video decoder first and then coreAVC video decoder. Again, thanks for the help.

You shouldn't need to set any DirectShow filters.  Just use Red October Standard, and if that works, try Red October HQ.

I tried that initially, but my m2ts movies would not play correctly. Had to install coreAVC and tell it to use it. Which in turn I had to tell it to use ffdshow.
