Strangest thing:

I downloaded the miniDVD sample here on the site, burned it, and tested it in my Philips 711 - no dice as in the guide.

I took the miniDVD back to the PC & had the following results:

1) Creative PC-DVD Player: Didn't recognize disk, won't play .vob because it is copy protected!
2) PC Friendly DVD player: Recognized & played disc, no sound
3) Windows Media Player 7.01.3055 - it played the .vob when Open File used! Totally unexpected! I tried to duplicate with a commercial DVD (Close Encounters) and it didn't work, erratic behavior, no pic.

Don't know why. . .
