Fw: Playing DVD's [was "Re: Hopefully Not "off-Topic""]
Since someone asked about how to make Media Clasic stop babbling the information, I thought I'd go back through my archives and find that message that someone posted a couple years back; it has navigational info, including how to stop Media Classic Player (or whatever it's called) to stop repeating the information.

Here's some suggestions and tips. For navigating a dvd once you open it press alt+N or go to the navigate menu. If you can't reach the menu var with the alt key, press ctrl+0 and now the alt key should work. Once you found the navigate menu go in there and down arrow till you find jump to... sub menu. There you should see titles and chapters for the dvd. To stop playing the video press the period key; to jump to the next title/chapter use PageDown and to jump to the previous use PageUp. As you sayed the up and down arrow keys change the volume. Control+Left or Right arrow move you in the video making you jump every 5 seconds I believe. Ctrl+5 toggles the information about the playing duration. I recommend to disable it because jaws keeps reading them. By pressing the letter A you will change the audio language instantly if there is more than one. S does the same but for subtitles. I think that's all you need to know to best play your dvds. Hope this helps, Gianluca. If you want/have more problems you can add me on skype. Skype: gianluca8815 On 15/01/2011 21:07, Tom Kaufman wrote: Yes..the second link worked that time!

I use this player everyday. The first file is a .7z, so winRar can open it. Once you decompress it you should find a folder in which you find the exe file of the player that is mpc-hc.exe. Once you open it you go in the file menu and go to open dvd... You should hear now the dvd. you go to the navigate menu and you jump on the title you want to watch. For the second link you're right. This should work, sorry for the mistake. www.cccp-project.net hth Skype: gianluca8815 On 14/01/2011 23:57, Tom Kaufman wrote: Okay..after going around and around..I cannot get this player to work!
