Hi,
My brother just returned from a trip to Manila, he bought a dozen DVD's there, almost all work fine except two of my favoraite titles.
The thing is all of them work fine when played on a friend's standalone DVD player but when I play it on my PC using software DVD player or my H+ card, two of the titles won't work (the same titles that did work on the standalone player).
Upon inspection of the DVD in my computer I found out two things :
A. The total size of the DVD as reported by WinXP in ~4GB.
B. When browsing the VIDEO_TS directory , I found that all the files are shown as size zero! (and yet, the dvd is reported to be 4GB in size).
Why can't the computer read these titles correctly like the standalone can ? How can I play these titles on my PC ?
thanks for your help,
Mike
