Did you get the full Cineplayer or just the Decoder for Windows?
If it's the Decoder then in WMP go to Tools,Options,Plug-ins and make sure that the plug-in is installed and has a check mark next to it.

Well, I tried to post something and didn't get it right, so here goes again. The original poster, AMBR, didn't follow up and frankly your response to AMBR wasn't quite complete enough for me to understand what to do next. I installed the Cineplayer DVD Pack (I think! I have a Sonic subfolder by that name) and that enabled me to play all DVDs except one, which my wife can play successfully on her PC, and which I can play on the DVD player attached to my TV. The troublesome DVD is apparently in RAW format; that may be important in figuring out what I need to do to play it on my PC.

Anyhow, I followed your instructions to AMBR and when I got to Plug-ins, I didn't know what I should expect to see there. Nothing was in the right pane of the window. The first text in the window reads: "Add and Configure Plug-ins." I hoped that the Cineplayer DVD Pack is what's defined as a plug-in, but maybe that's not true.

Can you give me further direction so I can play this thing on my PC? You can reply to me via email if you want. I'm not sure I'll get notified if you respond to this post.
Thanks, Gary

I don't have the pack installed but what you should be able to do is when you're in the Options the Left pane has Categories and the right shows the choices under each category.Try looking under the video categories and see if the decoder shows in the right pane.If it does you should be able to set some options.Also I believe you'll get something in the Windows Control Panel for the Cineplayer Decoder.

I used the WMP approach and even though I select category on the left, nothing about Cineplayer displays on the right. Then I used the Windows Control Panel approach and after opening Cineplayer DVD Decoder Options there, I ticked the two checkboxes on the Video tab, which were not ticked before. One box is for Video Hardware Acceleration and the other is Enable Vixeo Mixing Renderer (VMR) Support, with a Prefer VMR for DVD Playback box below that. Still no joy. Got any other ideas?

Sorry - forgot to mention that the data format of the DVD that's giving me trouble is "RAW." I suspect that this is related to my problem. Does that help you any?
