Now I remember why I stick with vhs. *smile* I'd say, since this is just for your own use, if you could at least get the dvd started, record the audio, either onto a regular audio cassette or as an mp3 in your machine. That way, you can watch/listen to the film whenever you want without the distraction and you can rewind and fastforward with ease. That or just try Youtube or Crackle.com.. They have alot of really great films and television shows. But if you simply can't be bothered to do that, try an older version of VLC or even Windows Media player or Media Player Classic. They might be able to do the job better.
