I have a horrible feeling this may have happened to others, but I have very little patience wading through search results
I only just started using MC to play DVD's as last time I used it (a long time ago) it wasn't that good at it. I decided tonight to give it another chance.
Anyway, I found it pretty buggy on my system, and was wondering if anyone else is experiencing these problems.
Playing a DVD and switching from full-screen to internal and vice-versa causes the DVD to start playback from the beginning!
MC crashes out a lot while buffering DVD content. Eg, when changing titles.
I get a "Cannot create CD manager control." error message when I switch DVD's while I'm in playing now and then click on the DVD drive's icon under "CD, DVD's and Handhelds". This also occurrs when I try to click on other my other CD drive. No files are listed in the main window.
Maybe it's hardware related, but I havent had any problems with my DVD drive with lots of other software. I'm wondering if anyone else has problems playing DVD's.
