what format is your disc? mpeg, avi?

If you have to use Microsoft stuff, try...

use the 7.1 version.

There are other tools, need to know format of disc file first...

not with media player, you need something more powerful to open it up in and save it back as a different type. or maybe try downloading movie maker 2? there's no real reason why it sudnt be playing it, tho, as it reads any types that media player reads. maybe its a codec issue?

My mov mkr just rendered an mpg video.
So you either need mpg codecs or update mov mkr at windows update.
