Can you access the disk with windows explorer? If so, then go to the mpeg folder and drag and drop the .mpg file into powerdvd. That's how I play most s/vcd's with powerdvd.

even if i do that when i try to drag the file into power dvd it still freezes, any other help would be apricaited

Check the disk for dirt and fingerprints, other than that.......

goto the video shop early doors and they will let you watch it on one of their players. Bring a fold up seat and some sandwiches, preferably tuna or corned beef, and maybe some jaffa cakes for afterwards. This is how I watch all my films. They got a bit shirty when I told them the Lord of Rings was over 3 hours tho.

try using Windows Media Player instead. If you are running series 9 just go to the play menu and DVD, VCD, CD Audio selection and choose your drive. see if that works. It still uses power DVDs codec but I have far less problems with WMP than Power DVD.

I like to use the DVD player on my PC at work. For some reason, my boss gets upset with this. He had the nerve to give me a bad evaluation last time, the bastard.

have you reinstalled power DVD? have you tried a DVD in it since this occured to see if it will play?
