WM DVD - VMR off problem and what seemed to work

[Guest guest]

I have seen others post questions on this issue with no real answers.

Today after having had my DVD feedback working for a while I found the

player was showing " VMR off " (with no changes having been made to the

system).

I tried rebooting with no success.

I did however have success by selecting a different Video Decoder

( " BioExplorer " -> " Preferences " -> " DVD Decoders " tab), restarting BE

and then reselecting the original Video decoder and restarting BE again

... I then got " VMR on " . Now in my case I had an older decoder also

installed on my machine so I was able to select another; I'm not sure

what one could do if you only have a single decoder.

Just thought I'd post this in case anyone is looking for something to try.

My system is winXP with both PowerDVD 5 and PowerDVD DX 7 installed.
