Hi and welcome kmusial ...
Sorry: updated the link above and...
Link here for the codecs & MP Classic (Media Player Classic Home Cinema)
VLC Player is not smooth, playback of video content like MPC... but that's my opinion...
Look at the record of installation directory i.e. c:\programs\codecs\Media Player Classic... you should see a named mpc - hc.exe which is the MPC...
You can determine that MPC plays video content if you want... simple right click, i.e. a movie.avi who opens a menu play with MPC... Meanwhile, or in the menu find open with... and set
play all video content with MPC... That's all

Although I had problems, such as; I would put the dvd but nothing would happen and when I went to my computer, drive E would show that it doesn't have a dvd in drive E. I want to restart my pc and it works finally. However today, I can't even drive to open it and when I go to my computer, I don't have an E-reader display (only C and D drives are now). I closed and removed the battery for several minutes to reset (that's what I did before to operate).
I am at a loss... Please help.Thank youKW1957Hi Kathy,

Problem creating Windows DVD? Or Windows Movie Maker problem?
Hello! I created a slide show in Windows Movie Maker, which plays on my computer without problem. Now, I try to burn it to a DVD by using the Windows DVD authoring application. I was able to burn my DVDs sucessfully using the wizard and when I put it in the DVD player I get the main menu I created.
I press play and start my video, but he plays 16 seconds and everything goes black. Time continues to roll until the full 3 minutes are up, but I have 16 seconds of my film. I burned 3 DVD and it did the same thing.
Can someone help me with what I'm doing wrong?
Hi Khsb14,
Have a. you been able to watch the video before burning?
B. did burn the DVD?
C. is the DVD burner connected properly
D. is the audio work after the 16th s?
E. do you have a mistake when he went to the black screen?
This could be a problem with the burner DVD or the method of engraving. Try the following methods.
Method 1

- To control the playback, click Pause , play , previous chapter or next chapter , according to what you want to do.

Check the link for more information.

How to finalize a disc (CD - R and DVD +/-R) using Windows?
Hello:
How to "finalize" a disc (CD - R and DVD +/-R) using Windows?
I want to finalize the disc... not simply close the session/disc.
What I read in the help Windows, "closing" allows me to write on the disc later.
Is this true, if the disc is just R, RW not?
I burned the JPEG images (.jpg files) on CD - R and DVD + R discs.
When I try to read them in my Sony CD/DVD player, it does not recognize the discs.
The Sony user manual said that records must be "finalized", not just "closed".
What do you mean with Windows?
I have treid finalize these discs with Roxio Creator Basic, but it does nothing, except eject discs.
Windows has always said that disks have free space, and the DVD player is unable to recognize them.
As I understand it, if the disc is finalized, will show him no available free space. Is this correct?
Note: The discs work fine on my HP laptop which uses Vista 32 bit Home Premium. I can see JPEG images.
Thank you...
